NICEIC. NAPIT no can do!

One of the very capable chaps on my 2396 course has been refused application to both NICEIC and NAPIT. Not one of those 5 week wonder graduates but someone with a load of unbroken experience with a well known large contractor and the NVQ 2330-07 Level 3 Certificate in Electrotechnical Technology Installation (Buildings and Structures) dated July 2007 along with his AM2. Simple reason given was that the NVQ is no longer recognised! 
That is bonkers as it was the foundation stone for competence recognition for thousands of electricians! Does anyone know why the qualification is not recognised?

  • Some of the the two billion pounds of training funds returned to the Treasury could have been used to upskill the UK workforce,  however the only training grants I recieved as a self employed electrician came from the European Union and that is no longer possible.

  • One of the things about an apprenticeship (or a degree course) is that it involves a degree of growing up, or "education" literally. Mature trainees do not have to go through that process and it would be a great pity if youth is prioritised over experience.
