So if you don't have to adhere to the JIB rules and Regs, how can you be JIB graded? seems a bit odd, doesn't follow any logic, how can you hols a JIB grade card?
I believe these other Gold cards are in effect just ECS cards (to allow the bearer on site) I dont think they have JIB written on them or a grading.Just goes to show how far down the slippery road to ruin this trade of ours has slipped.
They are the same, just some have ‘JIB Grade’ on them, some don’t.I believe these other Gold cards are in effect just ECS cards (to allow the bearer on site) I dont think they have JIB written on them or a grading.
I've only ever seen one until recently and that's my own, nobody gives a monkeys if you have one or not in my area. Most sparks in my area just do the CSCS exam if they want to work on sites.
'Might do on the back Spin, b--ger can't turn it over to look lol, just funningThat link shows a card without JIB in big green letters across it.
It also shows a JIB grade of ‘Approved Electrician’ yet doesn’t list any qualifications?
Things have changed a great deal Mate, back in the day when the JIB started I think it was up to the Boss to fill in your Grading application.I know now there are many routes to become an approved contractor/Gold card JIB graded and one of them is doing the NVQ portfolio.
But... with NVQ's not fully recognized until the middle 90's how different was it for electricians getting qualified in the 80's or 90's to now.
How did it work in then? was it you done your apprenticeship got your 236 A+B then you were qualified?
Yes, that is correctamundo, my gold card should be with me by next week. The ECS card seems to be more popular with employers than Being Approved Electrician with NICSHIT. Oh and 1% of the price.I'm not sure about this deal that the NICEIC have with the JIB now though.
If you are an NICEIC member (which requires little training)
I believe you can bypass all the whole NVQ, AM2, 2391 and apply for your gold card after you have had a few satisfactory inspections..
Not sure you can get the JIB "approved grading " but a gold card none the less..
Maybe someone else can clarify, kinda makes a bit of a mockery of it though.

I dissagreed with the second part of you post Mate, anyone can call themselve Approved these days.If anybody tells me that they are an approved electrician, I assume it means they are part of a scheme, Elecsa, Part P, ECA and all the others. If they say they are a qualified electrician, that means to me that they did their courses at college and that's it. All Approved Electrician or Certified Electrician will say they are an approved electrician that carry out certificates than to say I'm just qualified. That is how I interpret.
Personally there is a simple answer in my opinion:That's ok, The reason I say that is because of the meaning of the word Approved. In the case of the NICEIC who seem to have some Authority to say, we have approved him. His a ''Made Man'' lol.
