What does "assessor built im after" mean?

I ran out of breath before the end of that.

How does an NVQ expire?

How does an NVQ expire?

This crossed my mind as well.

HI All Think nvq expires means that the op has come to the end of the period (1 year i think) from the date of sign up after which the op either re- pays entirely ( starts again form scratch) or tries to extend on a month by month paid basis (fees payable).
Assessor built i believe is where the assessor write up the bulk of the description for the photographs that the op has taken.
Assessor built has higher fees involved .
i think the Am2 has an expiration period from the date of sitting till the date it can be used as part of the nvq.
BUT i might be wrong
cheers

I wasn't aware of any time limit between doing NVW and sitting the AM2?

 

[Mike Johnson]

I wasn't aware that the AM2 would form part of any NVQ?

It doesn't, but you can't sit the AM2 without first attaining the required NVQ.

NVQ's are stand alone qualifications and are not dependant on anything else, or need anything else to part of them.

 

[Mike Johnson]

It doesn't, but you can't sit the AM2 without first attaining the required NVQ.

I don't think thats quite right either, I think you only have to have some work experience as an electrician to take the AM2.

How long has your NVQ expired?
And we’re your Levels 2&3 with EAL or C&Gs.?
Also did you do a fast track level 3, or the 42month (3/half year) apprentice [one day a week college] version.?

Doesn't matter what anyone thinks, none of the three versions of AM2 assessment can be booked without proof of NVQ being attained through one of the accepted training routes.

AM2 is not a stand alone qualification. NET are very clear about this.

Don't wish to start an argument NBD, but this document does not mention the requirement for an NVQ to book an assessment for AM2E:

https://www.netservices.org.uk/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/NET-AM2E-Full-Candidate-Checklist-0522-WE2.pdf

IMO the problem with all of this is the lack of a professional body or legislation to administer all of the made up organisations purporting to be a definitive organisation to obtain the status of a qualified electrician, the only organisation that comes anywhere near close is the City and Guilds, the statement "Recognised Training Provider" is not defined and just seems to exist to ride on the back of any other organisation so they may perpetuate each other, who is this body that "Recognises" these training providers, they certainly aren't Government recognised, just recognised by each other.

Other documents are available and all NET registered test centres are clear about the requirement of relevant level 3 qualification.

If you can't book an AM2 without proof of that qualification I think it's fair to state the qualification is mandatory.
