First of all there is no such thing as a "Qualified Electrician" in the eyes of the law, only competent and I don't envisage that changing either with good reason.
Secondly, the industry itself has no criteria as yet for what the requirements need to be to become Qualified.
You can have all the Qualifications in the world, will it make you competent, not necessarily.
How do you define a spark from another, who's competent to Design, Install and Test on Industrial System's, someone who has the 2330 and am2? From the many sparks I know I wouldn't let them design a commercial, install and test it, and they have been in the game for years and are "Qualified electricians". Hence why the law will always require competency.
As for industry, they are stuck with the headache as to how to distinguish the differing levels of competency. You only need to look at all the forums to see how apparent "Qualified Electricians" fail to grasp the fundamentals.
Bp, I don't think the 2330 would do you any harm, on the other hand I'm not sure how much use it may be as well.
Good luck, and don't get to hung up on what some are saying.
