Delta Training - NVQ3 online e-portfolio

[highspark]

Lads, has anybody done this and completed it through Delta. Spoke to a couple of training providers today a couple, including Delta, who said they can do the qualification online and there would be no on-site assessment. Others said don't give them your money it can't be done online. I'm just wondering if it can be done and if Delta are reputable?

I am doing mine with Delta at the moment I believe you can do it online as long as you have 2 years electrical experience. There are quite a few people who have done it with Delta on the forum not really read of any complaints. My experience so far is excellent assessor very helpfull and always on hand for any questions.

No problems with Delta. Used them last year, very helpfull.

If you are looking to do NVQ 2356 you may need to hurry up as it is being pulled soon.

Doing mine with excel formally VQ online, getting close to finishing. The only complaint I have with the online is that you have to get each job signed by somebody with an NVQ3 etc... luckly for me I found somebody who's been really helpfull and there prepared to come out and check my work and sign off nvq for me, in hindsight I wish i'd have paid more and done it the old fashioned way onsite assessments etc...

I don't quite understand this, ...How can a site based NVQ (3) be completed on-line?? So where are the checks and balances??

With mine I have to provide witness statements for every module so even though the portfolio is completed online, somedody still has to come out to verify each module.

The cheques are deposited in the on-line trainer's bank account and the balances are very healthy!:lol:

I can't help thinking that system would be wide open to abuse!! So who checks that these witnesses are, who they say they are, etc etc??

Your assigned a assessor and witness's are checked by internal and external verifyiers, I know a guy who completed a NVQ six months ago through a placement not online and he just turned up at 4 jobs his mates were on, the whole NVQ thing is full of holes but it's up to the individual if they choose to do it properley or not, they reckon there's 100's of fake doctor's practicing in this country on phoney certs so I aint gunna worry about the online NVQ portfolios

Well, i can't say it's any worse than Scheme Providers accepting Electrical Trainee straight out of there course's, or what's happening elsewhere in the demise our industry, ...Par for the course in this respect!! Seems that no-ones too bothered about it either, just one more abuse means on top of all the others that's being accepted these day's!!!
