Thanks again. Lewis



Good luck then, you should have no problems with the test. Its common sense really and I havent known anyone fail.

Thank you Sir Ramic, well I hope I do pass lol. Do you only do it once or does it last a certain time?



As far as i am aware the test is once...could be wrong but i know the card lasts various amount of years depending on what card you have.
If i remember rightly the basic card will give you 2 years to obtain your NVQ2 and then you can get the next card which i was told last week would last 5 years.
