Didnt expect to have to take pictures of all that!! It is abit of a pain as im working through agencies and its hard to build relationships as alot of the time only short term contracts. Ive got a year til i finish my L3 so plenty of time to get snapping! Do you recon you can get away with selfies be a pain asking randomers to take photos all the time lol

For some photos yeh but you need photos are you talking with other trades, talking with supervisor, talking with delivery person's, delegating work to labourers etc...

Basically there is still alot of photos with you and somebody else involved

All of my NVQ pictures were selfies, and not particularly good ones either, but they showed what they needed to.
What you might struggle with is the testing - on agency jobs all the testing tends to be done at the end when all the agency guys have been dispensed with.

How long are you usually on a site for?

 

[Connor Ibbetson]

Yeah your right there. Also getting experience wiring DBs as not many companies let mates do work like that especially agency lads

Anything from 1 week to 8 months was the longest. Usually 4-6 weeks on average

Spoke to a college who do the NVQ and they sent me this really helpful guide. So if anybody else is in my position and arent quite sure what they need to do or know somebody then pass it on
