[SafeGasInstall]

Any one know what's the easiest way of achieving highest NVQ qualifications ?
I am expirienced plumber and already GSR , just need to gain some sertificates

 

[Ermintrude]

What u want to be not very qualified in exactly lots if nvq. Is it's bumming u need a mentor. M

 

[SafeGasInstall]

Need NVQ level 2/3 ! How is mentor going to help me ?

 

[Ermintrude]

Can't learn off yourself! Mentor needs to sign off ur crap. Collage bod comes out and needs to speak to your supervisor

No need to be told anything to do with domestic plumbing and heating .....

Stan, with your knowledge and experience there's a way you can jump straight through to level 4, I'm exploring it at the moment because I'm in a similar boat to you.

I'll dig out the details later and pm them to you mate, both on here and on facebook.

 

[Ermintrude]

Ooh do share mr crop!

I know that but I'm sure collage requires you to be assisted in learning..... Although the collage staff might be useless

Could you share with me as well Mr Croppie please
Getting loads of offers for decent high end site work, but as no nvq's, means I cannot get a cscs card

 

[SafeGasInstall]

If you are GSR no problem for cscs

 

[SafeGasInstall]

NVQ 4 is this in plumbing and heating or rocket science ??? Lol

Me too please Mr Croppie! I've got NVQ L2, but seriously thinking about college next year 1 day a week to get L3. If I could jump to L4 that'd be even better for future plans...

 

[SafeGasInstall]

L4 is explain in the link I posted already Masood 🙂

That NVQ 4 is in site management not Plumbing & heating.
As far as I am aware there is only up to Level 3 in just plumbing & heating, you then had to go onto a BTEC in Building Services & then onto HND in the same this was the route if you where in consulting.

There is what they call a mature workers route to NVQ Levels 2 & 3 but you would still need to sit the on-line exams & someone would need to come out & see work across the range of plumbing work.

 

[Linkyplumb]

If you are GSR no problem for cscs

Yes I am GSR, but do not hold any city and guilds in gas fitting.
The only C and G I hold is the 6129, level 2

I was originally told of a scheme that took into consideration your profesional qualifications and the ability to get yourself the qualification you require, for example with me, I've got an ONC in electrical engineering from years ago which doesn't count in our industry. But I've still shed loads of experience and professional qualifications such as the gas tickets etc.

I was told of this scheme called Licentiateship which took all of the above into consideration. Licentiateship doesn't exist anymore but has now evolved into 'Professional Recognition Awards'.

I'm currently trying to find a college in NI that'll deliver this.

Details below.

You got more details on this Chris?

 

[chris watkins]

You got more details on this Chris?

Leave it with me & I will see what I can come up with.
Not many places will do it but lots are developing stuff because of the demanded.

Was it the Level 4 or the NVQ L3 you wanted Mr Croppie ???
