 Re: What Course | |
Make sure the course you do is accredited by an recognised awarding body.
2 reasons for this:
1. You know you are getting the right training.
2. You can use the certificate towards gaining your NVQ2.
Be aware of 'training centres' that say they can get you your NVQ if you do their course. They are talking rubbish and are using this as a marketing tool to pull punters in to do their expensive courses.
Fact of the matter is, you can only do your NVQ at a Construction Skills / City & Guilds accredited centre AFTER you have done an APPROVED training programme recognised by the QCA (unless you have a minimum of 3 years experience).
These are the guidlines set out by City & Guilds at present for NVQ's.
Think of it like this - get a random driver to help you learn to drive, then do your driving test. IT AINT GOING TO HAPPEN!! Get a qualified driving tutor to help you learn, your chances are almost 100% to pass!!
TIME AND TIME AGAIN WE GET CALLS FROM 'TILERS' HERE, THAT ARE HAVING DREAMS SMASHED BY REALITIES BECAUSE THEY HAVE BEEN TRICKED INTO BELEIVING THAT THE EXPENSIVE NON ACCREDITED COURSE THEY DID WILL QUALIFY THEM FOR AN NVQ STRAIGHT AWAY!! |
