you can employ these for the day tho cant you.still need a college based assessor
I am a little concerned with regards the 6129 cert that I am currently enrolled onto with and studying at OLCI Manchester on a part time basis. I have completed 2 of the workshops already and am due to sit the first assessment shortly. Is this qualification going to be worth anything at the end of the course or will it be a waste of 5.5K Would I be able to claim anything back?
thye will say, if this is at a private training provider, no problem. if its a college and you want to pay full cost no problem. if your expecting funding and you are starting in sep then you may not get to start, if it goes ahead as i am told then the funding for 6129 will stop in july this year. it dont matter if you pay full cost though, you have until decemebr 30th to start, and 18months to finish
hi does anyone know when the college tutors are meeting with city and guilds to decide what is going on with 6129 replacement ? thanks
there no replaemnt for the 6129 mate, only the 6089 called the 6189
no tech cert replaceemnt only an nvq replacement
Heard from who ? thanks
cheers andy, is that a big change for your colege? which is it?i rang my college tutor today to get an update on the new course,
he has told me he is 98% sure the new framework wich we have all heard about will come into play in september, but until the goverment take there fingers out there a**e nothing STILL is certain.
on the funding side of things at my college there will be no funding for the course, unless you are in/on an approved apprenticeship.
also my college will not be doing a full time course only day realease course.
as always once i get more info i will post on here to let you all know.
yes its a big difference, for as long as i can remember theres always been a a full time course, and with the other courses now not being funded leaves me in a prediciment(couldnt spell it if i tried) ive already forked out to start my gas course in september at a cost of ÂŁ800, then after ive completed that there's ÂŁ1500 + for my core and appliances, so whilst im getting regular gas work with the bloke im working with and someone who's teaching me the ropes do i stick with the gas course, and continue the plumbing next year, or just go for the plumbing, cant realyy do both cause it will cost me over 4k in total
many people on here have said they are already on a 6129 from sep this year, not sure whats gonna happen there!!!!
The 6129 tc and 6089 nvq are being replaced by curriculum qulaification framework (cqf) called the 6189. I have spoken to C&G at length about this and they said that the new 6189 is still in the development stage, and people will still be able to enrol on either the 6129 or 6089 until december 2010. People who start the 6129 will have 2 years to complete the course, and then instead of going on to do the 6089 nvq, they will start the new 6189 level 2. The new 6189 will be split into levels 1 and 2. Level 1 will be for people who have not done the 6129 tech cert and level 2 for people who have either 6129 level 2 or 6189 level 1.
As the new 6189 is a framework based qualification, anybody who has done the 6129 will have already covered all the framework modules of the new 6189 level 1, and will go on to do level 2 which is an nvq.
To do the new 6189 level 1, you do not need to be employed.
However to continue onto the level 2 you need a work placement.
Under the current set-up, a person can do the 6129 level 2 and then legally work as a plumber. With the new 6189, if you only do the level 1, which is basically the same as the current 6129, you will not be able to work in the industry.
The idea behind this is to stop people just doing the 6129 and then setting up on their own without doing the NVQ, with very little or no experience and a very basic qualification.
As for funding for the 6129 starting this September.....I don't know.
yes your right fuzzy, thats what i was implying (i think) been a long day, airlock hell
just to ad fuzzy its not only apprenticeships wich are eligible for funding, as long as you have an employer you should be ok.
thats what ive been told anyway mate
