I recently saw an ad by a British company that is looking for a City and Guilds Qualified Electrical Engineer. I never have seen such a job title so I was curious. later I understood what is meant by this job add, it's actually an opening for an Electrical Engineer who has City & Guilds certifications.

HI Moshe,

Yes, just goes to show how much we can forget that well known "trade names" in one country don't always travel. I'd imagine most people in the UK industry would know exactly what a C&G Electrical Engineer was (the rest of the job description in your post describes it pretty well) - probably far, far more than could really describe what, say, a CEng was!!!

If I wanted someone to rewire my house I'd rather they had a set of C&G 7671 qualifications than a degree in electrical engineering...

Interestingly I notice that CGLI themselves list these qualifications under "Electrical Installation", wheres they use the title "Electrical Engineering" to refer to their graduate and post graduate level qualifications. But I think that's fighting a losing battle.

Cheers,

Andy
