If you have the NVQ level 3 you will be eligible for a electricians graded gold card. You wouldn't have to sit the CSCSECS exam as having just gained the NVQ you would have a "valid exemption" for three years. To complete the NVQ you must have gained some experience to complete the portfolio part of the NVQ? If you don't have much experience I would try looking for electricians mate/improver jobs failing that wing it on an agency. Once you have your JIB card you shouldn't find it difficult to get agency work. Good luck :smile5:

Is it definitely the NVQ level 3 you have done and not C+G 2365 level 3?
