Hi guys,
Can you guys tell me what certificates TRA are looking for to get the ARTC? I have a C&G 2330 Level 3, 17th edition, C&G2391 and I am alomost finished with NVQ3 so will be able to apply with a JIB electrician's card. I have been in the trade for about 8.5 years and can prove 95% of it. Will this be enough for them to give me a ARTC?
Thanks

I should imagine that would be sufficient with regards certificates as you have all the important ones. You will need to back up your experience with company references or personal statements. The other guys can prob help more, they have their artc already.

Thanks for that, need to get the thing soon after arriving.
