Good point Ian, thanks for the correction.

Thoroughly enjoyed reading this thread. I've started an apprenticeship late, at 24. Mine is in Electrotechnical Installation (Building and Structures) Lol, I think that most of us here are in that business.

In reference to the JIB and all these courses (2330, 2356, 17th Edition, 2391, 2400, Part P, ECS card) I think, why not do them all?! I'm with an NICEIC Co but I believe having all these quals improves your job prospects, and open doors, IF you want to go through them. That's what I'm going to do. Anyone agree?

you may struggle with the 2400 a bit

it bit the dust a number of years ago!

it is now part of the 2391 (as a seperate qual)

What do you mean Shakey? Although I can only guess what's involved in the 2400 course by the course name, my college indicates via it's prospectus that it does the course. The last time I checked anyway.

Oh, I forgot about PAT testing! "Boring, boring" as my boss has said, and as I have seen. I'd do the qual anyway!

well sorry fella, but they are wrong, it is at least 3, if not 4 years since the 2400 was ditched

the 2391 is now split, one part of it is the inspecting and testing and one part is the design (the old 2400)

they are entriely seperate unconnected quals, but both come under 2391

take a look on C&G's website if you like!

Thanks Shakey. I wouldn't be surprised if they haven't updated these leaflets. I haven't been impressed with my CoVE college and I was there last year doing something completely different!
