[QUOTE="binky, post: 542401, member: 490"] 'Standards' seem to be set by whoever you are paying money too..😃 I also transitioned from engineering to the electrical trade. I most certainly do not have NVQ level 3, but do have the old 2391 inspection and testing, which seems to count for more. I have also held the ' gold card ' and ' approved contractor' status at various times, neither of which I bother with now. The ECS scheme is more about getting onto building sites and showing you meet H&S requirements for that line of work. There's several different levels of that scheme, so I would read up on what they want, get the safety exam they require done and put an application in. I came out with ' supervisor ' status ( or whatever the phrase they use is) but they have several lower status options you can get that still gives you a card and opens up those sorts of employment opportunities.
