6089 or 6189

[Adam100]

Hi folks,

I have read over many threads on this forum but I think it has actually made me a little more confused!! Can you just simply tell me is it the 6089 or 6189 that I need to gain the proper qualification before I can go on and do my level 3 and become an "advanced plumber" Obviously I intend to go out and gain hands on work as well as working in college hands on and theory!

Thanks in advance,

Adam

What holds more value Tech Certificate or NVQ?

Basically you need nvq 3 in plumbing with ccn1. You can only get an nvq by doing the 6189 technical certificate. It is actually part of the nvq.

And, to gain your nvq, you need to be working in the trade so an assessor can come out and assess you and sign off your portfolio

Thanks for your reply mutley, everyone keeps on telling me different things!

No worries feller. I think now though, just to make it more confusing, nvq's are not around any more. It is a thing called QCF. which grades you for each section you do. Very confusing
