Hi,

May also need AM2 and ECS card if looking at industrial/commercial.

Might also consider initial testing and inspection (2392) , PATS (2377) + some training on building regs.

I have 2330 l2&3, 2391, 2377, 2392 ... am thinking about NVQ3

Is it a good career move .... will let you know

Cheers

Mark

Welcome to the forum Robert.

It's good to have you On-Board.

 

[robert1]

ta for that - sort of as i thought - assume 12 months min for 2330?

 

[zak325]

hi rob

yes i'd say 12 months (but acamdemic year shorter [sept - july]) for 2330 level 2. You can find some places that do it in a shorter time, 12 weeks for example, but will charge stupid money for it (~

2382 is the minimum qualification nic eic will ask for, no real need to take it straight away i would get more hands on first and learn the regs in free time

experiance is the main thing, and being able to test your own work
