NVQ 2356 and 2330 registration extended to July 2012

[sparksflying]

The NVQ 2356's last registration date was supposed to be 31st March 2011.

I have found out yesterday that this has now been extended until July 2012 along with the 2330 level 2 & 3 City & Guilds | Electrical installation .

I cant beleive that City & Guilds can leave it until the last minute and then quietly make this announcement, they obvioulsly knew beforehand but wanted to get as many people registered before 31st March and then announce this after the deadline. Another money making scam me thinks.

Anyway, good news all the same. This means there continues to be an option for those wishing to take the 2330 and 2356 route rather than the 2357 and the money making mandatory AM2 route.​

I am on the 2330 course starting in September its 3 days a week over a year. Does this mean I can do 2356 September 2012 now then as my tutor was trying to put me off 2330 the other day saying it was going to be worthless to do as I would not be able to do 2356 anymore

So question the deadline of July next year is that when the course needs to start by or when you enroll on the course by?

you need to get on a course by then, then you have up to 3 years to complete it.

So once I finish my 2330 with college by say next june if I apply for the 2356 with my college before July there is no problem me doing 2356 in September 2012 at college?

You mean i have to finish 2356 before july 2012. I cant do that as I only start doing 2330 for a year course starting this September that will run till about june 2012

No mate the last day of registration is 31.7.2012 so enrol before that and then you will be able to complete it after that date think the final cutoff is 2014 or something now this is when the portfolio will have to be completed

 

[simpson93]

yeh also just so you know you can do both courses at the same time if you have the work.
good luck.

This fiasco is down to one organisation (read disorganisation), Summit Skills!

 

[walnut_bliss]

The reason for this was that Summittskills had been dictating to the exam bodies. The Aoc (association of colleges had been putting on pressure for a cpurse for full timers and part who want to change direction.
therefore sense has started to come through.

My college claimed 'til end of April '11 and we have to pay simply the registration fee to enrol.

Does this mean that colleges will still be running it ?.
