Completing NVQ practical at home / self employed / working for free

[Carper lacy]

Hi All
I'm after some advice with regards to completing the NVQ L3 either 2356 or 2357.
I work in maintenance although I am now mainly office based. XS training have said I can carry out the 2356 as I have been in the industry for over 5 years. I have completed 2365 L2 & 3 so now want to get fully qualified.
My job will allow for some work to be carried out although I'm not sure if it will offer enough scope to complete the whole NVQ. Would it be possible to carry out work in my own house such as consumer unit change, Conduit in the out-house etc? I also have a couple of friends that might be able to put a few jobs my way too.
I really want to get this started but just feel I need a bit of reassurance that I can get the work to complete the portfolio.
Any advice would be most appreciated.

think you have the right approach. work in your own home could make a start on your portfolio of work. plenty of pics. some showing yourself advised. also if you can get some part-time work with your mates, that will help, but don't work for free. slavery was abolished in the civilised world 150 years ago.
