Help please - finished level 2 2330 , should i do level 3?

[1985]

Hi, i am just finishing up my Level 2 2330 and most of the boys in my class are not doing the level 3. They reckon you dont really need it? I was going to do it but am now thinking otherwise.

I am not working in the industry as of yet because i am finding it hard to get a job without experience and my uncle who worked for T.CLARKE who was gonna get me on there has been made redundant.

My teacher has suggested i get my 17th edition and try and get a job in the industry before starting my level 3. Personally i would rather just get it out the way.

Im at a bit of a crossroads and not completely sure what to do now? Any advice would be greatly appreciated, thanks!

served sparks should sign up to the old 2356 before december if they dont have an NVQ otherwise it will cost a bucket full of cash.

completed all my exams but never bothered with the nvq3, then when i heard about the changes thought maybe i ought to do it.

signed up with local college, got it free, found it all very simple, had it completed in about 4 weeks just waiting for the cert coming through post may even get a jib card next.

would advise any1 without it to try and get it now before rules change again.

That is the craziest thing I have ever heard!

DEFINITELY do level 3, I'm coming into my last exam (finished the theory one's, now waiting for my time on the rig) I know it seems harsh when you're at college and not working but not doing your level 3 when you can is only going to hinder your progress, a few people in my class have been employed whilst taking level 3.. it's one day a week and if you want to be fully qualified you've got to do it so I would/DID carry on doing it.

It shouldn't be a decision, just carry it on.. you'll regret it if you didn't.

I would advise that you do the Level 3 now AND register for NVQ before the expiry date for registration in December 2010. This way you can still complete your NVQ at a later date after gaining enough work experience as the final date for claiming this NVQ qualification is December 2013.

This means that you can secure your qualifications and your JIB registration etc without having to deal with the complications of the new 2357 at a later date.
