access training and nvq2?

[barney 911]

hey peeps im looking for a course and access training say you can do your nvq 2 with them without a work placement has anyone done this? Also are there any other providers that supply this qual without geting a work placement. I take it would be a costly figure for the privilage?

Thanks
Tom

very doubt it lol they sound like a rip off, stay away! a vocational qualification is part in college and on site experience.

it is not possible to do an NVQ without work placement. if they are doing this they will be shut down, who is offering this?

dont get it??? but ill look inot it. this is from EAL not C&G, regardless the standards must be the same. the on site bit is a element of the sector skills council, have they found a loop hole?

must be a loop hole for them to offer a nvq2 without site experience. did hear that nvq standards dont state that onsite assessments were necassary and some centres were challenging c&g, may be something to do with that i dont know. EAl must meet the same criteria and standards, they must have found a diffeent way round it, anyone else shed any light?
