JIB Electrotechnical Certification Scheme (ECS) JIB card advice needed

[JB1975]

I need some advice with regards the JIB.

I have my NVQ 2, completed the level 3 and was offered a job away from home as soon as I finished the course. As a result I never fully completed my level 3 as I didn`t do the on site portfolio (this was 15 years ago).

I have 17th edition and 2391. During my career I have been a QS for an NIC firm for seven years, and also whilst self employed became a member of Elecsa.

I really want to get on a local job to me which is a large hospital job for the next two years but I need a card. I rang the JIB last week and through broken English (the lady sounded Italian!) I was told if I didn`t have my Level 3 then I can`t get a card. I explained all my qualifications, experience etc but it got me nowhere.

It ****es me off that I can be recognised by the NIC as competent enough to be a Qualified Supervisor yet the JIB only recognise me as a trainee (no level 3, your not a spark).

Has anyone had any experience of this, does anyone know if the JIB has an appeals process or is there any way around this?

Cheers in advance.
