Yes. Most large companies will insist on seeing your certs for health & safety reasons. Small companies will not bother so much or pay as well.
If I, as self employed lose my 17th cert I instantly lose 2 good multinational clients.(Where the money is). Most employers want to see your dedication to the job. Getting more quals/ certs seperates you from the crowd. Vital in the current circumstances.

Hi.

I would say the 17 is a must if you are looking to gain employment as an "electrician" as it proves you know where to look and how to interpret the regs book.

In short, YES in order to do the 2391 you will need this and anyway the 2382 is pretty straight forward so long as you know how to reference a book, which is allowed in the exam.;)
