Proof of apprenticeship 1970s

[Donnie]

A question to anyone who served their apprenticeship in the Uk during the 70s and early 80s,do you remember what paperwork you were given on successful completion of you apprenticeship,I hit my C&G certificates and I remember getting a paper sjib card but nothing else, the card was lost a long time ago, now trying to get a new grading card but without proof of my apprenticeship it is difficult,has anyone else been in this position, by the way I have always worked as an electrician /electrical fitter since 1976.cheers Donnie

Same for school exams taken 40-50 years ago.... so many of these records have been lost .

I completed my apprenticeship in 1985, had my C&G 236 1 and 2 Certificates and JIB Certificate of successful completion and that was it at the time.

Do you have any details/proof of the C&G or SJIB card? If they can establish you really did have them it also proves you met the qualifications originally.

To be fair proof of related work/employment in the years after qualifying between should be more important!

Edit: Maybe you have something from former employer(s) on getting past job(s) that says you met the requirements?

Thanks for the replys, I have my C&G certificates, but not the sjib card, sjib have no record of it, I have supplied them with a list if all my employers since 1976,but at the moment my application is on hold, they are asking for a list of the modules I completed, but as far as I remember we didn't do modules at that time, I think they started in about 78/79.

OP did you do an indentured apprenticeship.

Contact City & Guilds, they ought to have records of your certificate somewhere

Hi Dave, I think it was an indentured apprenticeship, although so long ago

Thanks, I have already received a copy of the C&G certificate, it is proving my apprenticeship that is the problem now. Cheers
