advice on gaining NVQ 3

[sonnyjim]

Need some advice on gaining NVQ 3 i will be finishing my level 2 2330 in the next couple of mouths but because of the 2330 ending and the government withdrawing funding for adult students (course fees gone forum £1200 to £4000) i can’t do level 3.
I asked my college about me doing the NVQ3 and they said you can’t do the NVQ3 without 2330 level3. Does anyone know if there is any way i can get my NVQ3 without doing 2330 level 3

Why can't you do the successor to the NVQ when it becomes available?

 

[sonnyjim]

If it was possible transfer 2330 level 2 qualification over to the new 2357 its still going to cost me 4k+ and i wouldn’t think they will be run the level 3 this year.
The college that I’m at has told everyone over 19 who wants to starting the 2357 first year that there’s nothing they can do for them.

It's true....they cant.

Also the NVQ will no longer be available as a stand alone qualification as it's now been merged with the main electrical qualifiaction framework.

Have a read here....

Thanks for the link.
I think July is the dead line for the nvq but once you’re on it you’ve got until 2012 to finish it. Correct me if I’m wrong.
Does any know can I start the 2356 with just 2330 level 2 ?

The way I see it mate, as you have enrolled and are part way through the course you should be able to follow it through to completion in all areas.

This is just another example of the government fiddling where they shouldn't.

My college has told us that they will not be running the 2330 course next year due to funding even if you enrol for it.
