    Default what to do afterwards

    Just wondered what most people are thinking of doing once they have their nvq qualification. Is anyone thinking of becoming an nvq assessor?

    I was an NVQ assessor/trainer before becoming a minder and it's possibly the best job i've ever had. I hate standing up in front of people but loved teaching 14-24yr olds. I found i learnt loads from the trainees and from researching for teaching them. I'd love to go back to it but love being at home with Rose. Hopefully when she's older i'll be able to go back into it.
