I’ve spoken to a few over the phone at Napit, the first Lady was a little confused as my NVQ3 is in electrical engineering but covers installation, maintenance, handover, health and safety, electrical theory/principles. She never got back to me, so I spoke to a gent last week who said I would need to go down the c&g experienced worker route then the AM2E and 2391-52. He was quick to send me the links and get me enrolled and told me it’s the only way to join. Both said I’m clearly competent.
By the looks if I applied last year then it would of been ok as it was a lot more relaxed but they’ve tightened the schemes up end of 2021 from what I’ve read online to rule out the short courses. It has to be an NVQ from their list.
With time off work, hotel costs, course costs plus registration it’s a massive chunk of money over £5k cost in total, for something they say I’m qualified and competent. They just can’t except the NVQ.
Is there a governing body that oversees the cps? Maybe I could talk to them and run through the nvq and units?
