Hi
Years ago I was training as an apprentice and completed all the Scotvec modules etc + nearly 5 years hands on - unfortunately I had to leave before sitting the AM2 (due to circumstances beyond my control).
I am now looking to get back into being an electrician but can't get SJIB grading because I didn't sit the final test and also to do it now I would need to be working for an electrical firm.
Is there any way I can get the qualifications needed to become a recognised electrician (bearing in mind I have done the full amount at college as an apprentice) - I also have the C&G2831 16th Edition.
Someone suggested that I go self employed so I can then get to sit the AM2 but not convinced this is the best idea.
Also as self employed I believe you can't easily joing SELECT or NICEIC unless you have a recognised apprecticeship and grading?
Any help on this would be appreciated
