Default Re: Setting out to BS

I don't agree, I don't think an NVQ2 is required to work on domestic jobs, I think it would come in very useful as a piece of paper to say you can do what you do, but I don't think you would actually need it just yet.

I intend to do my NVQ asap, but from what I have learnt most of it is just health and safety anyway... IE: common sense!

If you want to do site work then you are going to need your NVQ and a CSCS, but personally I am hoping to do my CSCS through the construction college when I do my 6129 plumbing.

An NVQ 2 is

craft level, equivalent to GCSE at grade C or above. Some of the activities are complicated or non-routine, and there is some individual responsibility involved.
GCSE's aren't worth the paper they are printed on and NVQ's from what I understand are even easier to obtain... so I wouldn't get over excited...

I skipped most of my education from 14yrs old, but I still managed to pass a maths GCSE desipte not turning up for the final exam test... (the work was split into 2 tests and course work assesement).... I think that tells you all you need to know really, how can you obtain an GCSE / NVQ equivalent when nearly a third of work is missing!! ??
