What physical jobs does the NVQ3 demand?

[bjouis]

I've asked several colleges and training providers now 'what is needed to complete the NVQ3' and nobody will actually give me an answer.

I keep getting 'portfolio showing comptence'.

So....anyone who has done it - what actual jobs are needed to be able to pass the NVQ3? Are there any in there that are rare and so you struggled to complete because the opportunity just never came up or is it just basic day to day stuff - sockets, lights, earthing, shower, boiler, exterior armoured stuff, spurs, etc?

Give this a read and see it that can help (it goes more about how to capture than what.

I would document everything; installing, decommissioning, testing and as many different things as you can; types of circuit, types of cable, application, indoor jobs, outdoor jobs etc.

and with photos, ensure that you personally are in the picture on a fair % to prove that it's you doing it and not some stock photo off tinternet.

I think one of things hard to find is galv conduit, making sets etc. Boiler wiring is another less common one. Showing certificates for WEEE regulations is sometimes difficult. Photos of safety barriers, depends on what work you are involved in. Complying with clients instructions and handover method is also slightly tricky. Are you self employed or work for someone?

A Guide To The NVQ 2356-99 Qualification | NVQ2356.COM - https://www.nvq2356.com/ might be worth a look. It talks about the mature candidate assessment but I think the practical requirements are broadly similar.
