No employer to get NVQ 2356

[arron]

After not being able to get an apprenticeship in north east last year i did the college course and have the qualifications 2330 level 2 + 3 ect
I now need the on site nvq to become fully qualified. I was wondering whether there was any colleges offering this since im unable to find an employer. Or any other ways i could get this certificate

Much appreciated

mate just go to college and sign up for the nvq get your own work and take a tonne of pictures......

yeah has to be done on site so the above way is a good option, one of the colleges is building a house my tutor was saying and they cant even use that do do it on

i just doing my 3rd year and i just put the word around that i am looking for work i got a job on next week fitting a shower for a friend...i do lots of stuff in my own place...the fact is if you wanna evidence u can get it...just keep trying...the forum is packed full of sparks with no work so what hope is there for the likes of us with nor enough experience. i have just been offered the full course for free as the funding limit for apprentiships has gone so at any age u can get one and have it paid for....even paying for my am2 nvq and l3 tech cert

did my nvq3 just recently with newcastle college - all done via internet with a couple of site visits - very friendly and helpfull, took about 10 weeks to get through and it was fully funded via the college.

 

[tonywan]

hi ive just started my 3rd year and been told that i need employer to get nvq3 .with me being out of work ive been told i will have to pay for the corse myself
anybody know if there is any funding i can get

 

[sparky1502]

i got funding through the apprenticeship scheme even though i am 27.....there is no upper age limit for funding now....so i got the lot for free...2330 l3 plus nvq and am2...for nothin....i dont have an employer but got a friend who will vouch for me if u know what i mean...it has to be done....

 

[Anth]

Iam in the north east as well Arron I had to pay for my nvq the colleges near me said they was no funding, load of rubbish I think!!!

Well out of 60 of us on the level 2 course last year less than 5 people have a work placment and yes these were kids under 18yo, the majority have given up and have no intention of wasting another year at college in particular as the college is banging on saying we cannot do NVQ Level 3 without an employer...which is a load of bull**** as i have read the City & Guilds NVQ 2356 Level 3 document from start to finish and it clearly states that self employed people can do the NVQ 3 and they dont necessarily have to do onsite visits but the candidate may be quizzed by an external verifier to ensure he knows what hes doing....
Check out ths document page 20....I am a self employed sub contractor...sometimes im in work sometimes im outta work....i just get evidence when i can.

Just give the page a few seconds to load up while the document loads.

yup, think a lot of providers dont know themselves, it is gainable at moment wether self employed or not although this may change when new qual comes out.

hi mate where are you doing the above and how did you get funding mate as i live near
st helens do you already hold the 2330 lv2

Hi...I work for a training provider in the North East and we manage electrical apprenticeships. It's true that funding isn't readily available for those of you out of work. However, if you are working for an electrical contractor and already have your 2330 L2 & L3 but still need your NVQ, then that is something we may be able to help with. I must stress that you need to be employed as we can only draw funding for employed "apprentices". If you are self employed and already have your 2330, we can deliver NVQ's but there is a cost if you are over 19.
