Take one stage at a time.
NVQ is about evidencing what you already do.
You should have an assessor that will also help you through the process.
If my daughter can do it and the 6 months into her new job she wants to do thenext level, well I'll say no more
I eat to survive
I drink to forget
I breath to pi55 my ex wife off (and now my ex partner)

I got one in the RAF and started one in this job until all funding was cut when they basically just ripped it off and you don't get the award
anymore.
As said its about evidencing things. Just keep a list of jobs somewhere that you can pick from for certain modules and make sure they're quite
thoroughly detailed as you can then use a small amount of jobs for many different areas.
Speak to an assessor as they understand the language and basically can see past all the bull cack.

Oh dear - don't get me started.
Too late...
One thing is certain, as others have already mentioned the NVQ is all about proving competence and as such is nothing at all to do with education.
Consequently, I'm really not keen. As an employer I stopped them and used the money for training instead.
Sorry - I've really not helped have I? On the plus-side they do prove, at least to an extent, to potential employers that you possess some
skills. I just cannot understand what existing employers think that they get from them, apart from maybe hoping that it makes employees feel valued -
and IMHO there's much better ways of doing that!
