Morning
The short version of this is that i came To South Africa on a skills quota visa, the South Africa Qualification Association don't recognise 2360 pt2, pt1 is OK but they equate it to next to nothing.
They want an NVQ 3 electrical. 10 Years work experience can't be put on paper so doesn't count for anything

How can i do an NVQ 3, i have been working 10 years(have plenty of work based evidence), and i just need to get that qualification. I am coming back to the UK for a few months to do the 17th edition course, 2391 testing and inspecting and 2391-02 design and verification with Connaught just so i can keep on top of things but even these qualifications, i have just be told, are not good enough for the South Afican Qualification Association.
I started a NVQ years ago but never bothered finishing it because at the time they were considered crap compared to the City and Guilds.
Basically i need an NVQ 3 so i can do the job i have been doing for the last 10 years
Where can i do one quick quick, i would rather spend the money on doing a HND but that will take time, which is fine, but the moment i can't work here in SA until i have the right piece of paper, NVQ 3
Any advice, other than don't work in SA(obvious), greatly appreciated
Thanks
P.S. what gets me the most is that the apprentice from the firm i worked for before I came here to SA who knows sod all about being an electrician but has his NVQ 3 is allowed to work here.
I will never employ anyone on the basis of there qualifications but on what they can actually do.
A cubicle in a college is nothing like real life.
