NAPIT Certification Scheme Life after napit part 2

[multimick]

well it's now 18 months since i left napit and no problems to report , I am still doing domestic (mostly unfortunately) and all I do is download IEE certs (filled in on my laptop) and forward them to BC. Only once have these been questioned and I just emailed them my city and guilds qualifications along with a short letter and they were fine with that. Happier and richer
cheers Michael

you dont have an nvq then?

it would be a good idea to work for someone for a couple years to build your experience up

working in the real world is completly different to what your taught in college

Since when has NAPIT been a government body? They’re not even a governing body.

From the OED

Conduct the policy, actions, and affairs with authority.

i have had about 1 and a half years work at 3 days a week. i understand work is different from college i learnt that when i started my level two haha it got to the point where i was talking about things from work and no one in the class got it :/ shame really because i was trying to do real world situations on some of the projects we where doing but people confused and had to keep things basic . i can do most domestic things but when i was working i did not do much in 3 phase

Stick with your 2365 level 3. Once you've got that get your nvq3 (2357 I think). I rekon if you register now you'll get it for free.
Then depending if your sticking with employer or moving on it might be wise to get 17th edition qualification 2382. You don't need it but some employers are fussy and want to see it.
Get some testing experience behind you before you look at doing the testing exam. It'll do you the world of good.

Unfortunately, one of the things that experience teaches you. There’s no fixed list of things to look for, or if there is, someone keeps adding more to it.

BTW, changing your post #2 made my post #4 utter nonsense.
