I've asked several colleges and training providers now 'what is needed to complete the NVQ3' and nobody will actually give me an answer.
I keep getting 'portfolio showing comptence'.
So....anyone who has done it - what actual jobs are needed to be able to pass the NVQ3? Are there any in there...
Just wondering as i see a lot of people say there's a lack of industrial electric knowledge.
If they don't, what is the follow on qualification after the NVQ3+AM2 that can get you into industrial sparkying, or would it be just a work-based thing with the same theory but bigger cabling etc?
Thanks.

Spent about half an hour with the above, as it...
Metal Contactum board installed 1998 according to the labelling. Unfortunately it has a plastic flap covering the front of the devices. Anyone know if it's possible to cheaply get a new cover with a metal flap? Would be much easier than taking the whole board out, and seems silly to update all...
Bit of a long shot
We are missing the two screws that grip the face plate to a Grid Switch yoke, for a BG faceplate. Happens to be a 3 Gang one, all the rest is done.
All nice shiny stainless finish any thoughts? Or anyone think they have a redundant one?
Thank you
