popel think of city and guilds as a qualification, they are not as such, think of hoover and vacuum cleaner. C&G are an awarding body, they offer the NVQ but there are other awarding bodies such as EAL.
Currently, for the past 7 years there have been 2 quals on offer each offered by EAL and C&G, that is a tech cert (done in college only) and the NVQ (college and onsite).
People may say they have a C&Gs, is it a tech cert or a NVQ? The tech cert is only a part qual, it is only the full qual when upgraded to an NVQ by doing the onsite bit as well.
id ask for a full NVQ3 whether that be a C&G or EAL or other awarding body is irrespective
