To all that are interested in obtaining an industry recognized City & Guilds 6189 NVQ Level 2 or 3 qualification. Please have a read through the document link above, it sets out what is required if you are an experienced worker who wishes to use this experience instead of completing the whole standard course with on-site assessments.
The main bit is as follows "This enables the candidate to achieve the practical element of the combination unit(s) by submitting evidence of work activities from his/her workplace. Any learning outcomes not covered by this process will still need to be achieved using other assessment methods required for the qualification."
"All the Performance and Knowledge Unit assessments will still need to be completed." Which means all the on-line exams & written projects will still need to be completed.
Level 2 has to be competed before you can go on to Level 3.
Take care ladies & gents what knowledge you may believe is needed to work as a plumber is not necessarily what City & Guild thinks (Well it isn't actually C&G but the Sector Skills Counsel for our industry = SummitSkills).
There is a charge every time you resit an exam for instants & they will still need to come & see you on site a number of times so make sure you have a good idea what the likely total costs will be.
I do not know of any colleges that run this route but there are a number of training providers, again take care & check them out properly.
Hope that helps.
