getting qualified whilst working away?

[James Jackson]

just after some advice really, i'm working as a electricians mate but all the work involves stopping away, im looking to try and get qualified but just wondering if anyone else has faced the same problem of not being able to attend college or night school because of working away, but has manged to get qualified through other methods.

I have noticed a link on the forum for XS online training, but i cant help wonder if this is just a bit of a gimmick or if i really could get qualified this way, has anyone used a similar course to get qualified?
i have no trouble being able to record the work i do for the sake of training. link to the website NVQ 3 Electrical at XS Training - Electrical Training at XS Training

thanks, James

you got to remember you need 2330 lvl 2 and lvl 3 or what ever they call it now before you can do the nvq 3

well when i started as an apprentice before being made redundant, the qualification i got was an NVQ level 2 in installation and maintenance from EAL so im hoping it equates to the right qualification from C&G and allows me to carry on
