2391 and 17th edition?

[anth ewart]

so why just do the 17th edition because thats all the scams require?...what happened to making efforts?

why does everything have to come down to the lowest common denominator?

i am not aware that these are "scams..... I understand the annoyance that electricians bare with on a daily basis with the scamming company's and useless training centres.
im trying to do what is best for my career and looking for general advice on where to turn next. I've enrolled with Jtl to finish my nvq and am2.
im also making huge efforts trying to gain evidence aswell as working a 3 shift pattern full time job which is a pain in the arse. I just want to get qualified and do what I love

They are money making scams

cheers lads much appreciated. so what is the qualificatio to work as an electrician is it the nvq3 then am2? or can i get a full recognition as a qualified sparky without the am2 as i know a few guys are sparkys without it

Hi,
I have a doctorate Ph.D. in electrical engineering and I looking for job everywhere in uk also as electrician, someone can help me?

I have the nvq3 and it includes the am2. You will need 17th edition to sign up with a scheme, you will need the 2394/2395 also or when you have your inspection it will class as a 'non-conformity' although there maybe a tiny bit or wriggle room that if you show competence in testing on the inspection you get a couple weeks to book the 2394/2395 and send them proof

If you qualified to 17th edition regs you don't have to complete the 17th edition. I didn't know this until it said it on my gold card and I hadn't taken the course. To gain the NVQ 3 you need to pass the AM2. JIB require NVQ3 to award the gold card.,

Hi anth ewart
Have you finished the 2330 level 3 or equivalent yet?
I qualified a couple of years back doing the 2330,nvq3 am2, 2391 and in total it took me about 5 years to complete.
In total i have been a sparks for 7 years and im still learning every day and asking for advice from the more experienced guys on this forum. If i were you and had not done any electrical work for 3 years then i would consider going with a more experienced sparky for a bit to gain some knowledge rather than just thinking about the quickest route to getting qualified.
Also you say you hardly done any testing and to be honest this is a big part of the puzzle in our game and is paramount if you wont to sign off your own work and fault find etc.
As you can probably tell the top bods in the know on this site have done it the hard way threw a apprenticeship starting from the bottom of the pile.
