JTL NVQ - Employer

[chronyx]

Hi all,

I am in a very tricky situation.

To get work signed off for my NVQ, it needs to be work I have done with my contracted company. My present employer are not giving me the experience I need. I have been the office and can count the number of days on site in the past months on one hand.

Do any of you here run your own company? All I require is a contract, and to have my remaining site assessments signed off.

As far as I can work out, the best 'work around' is that I sign a contract saying I will work for no salary, and simply turn up on site when I can get my connection and testing site assessments. I have my own work, but cannot class it as evidence. :bomb2:

Any other ideas welcome. (Besides just paying for the bloody NVQ myself. Very tempting, but I just shelled out £680 for 2391 and £67 for 2382 17 Ed.)

If your employer does not have the work he can arrange some work for you with someone else, it does NOT have to be with your employer at all so whoever is giving you this info is wrong. The NVQ is a workbased qualification, not a contract based, as long as you are doing the work in a real environment this should make no difference to JTL at all.

This is from my JTL assessor! But as you have pointed out it just doesn't make sense to do it that way. Thanks for replying

You, your company and JTL should have made an agreement regarding your training and the JTL assessor should be ensuring your employer gives you the experience etc to complete your NVQ. Speak to your assessor about your concerns

Thanks NMc for taking the time to reply especiallyto such an old thread!

The situation is better now, although it took me giving up on being polite and having a 'he who dares wins' rant. I knew it either result in termination or improvement but I was passed caring!

We had an apprentice who's assessor would come every month after each session with him it was a complete repeat off the previous months visit, phoned the training centre asking could they send a video camera next tme with the assessor so we could video the meeting and he would not have to attend again in the future. He was replaced soon after.

All JTL assessors have a camera and are now able to do a complete job write up via a site observation that it providing that the job has all the required things.


If still unhappy JTL has a formal complaints process

Good luck
