    Default Finished NVQ3 in 10 Weeks

    Thank the lord. It has been an intense but enjoyable 10 weeks but I managed to complete my NVQ3 in record time.

    It really wasn't too hard as I didn't have to do any essays etc. The assessors came round a day a week and observed everything I did and filled out the appropriate units. Anything they didn't observe me doing or questions they had, they would ask and I would explain my thoughts and procedures...they were the ones with writers cramp not me!!

    Would defo recommend this way of doing an NVQ.

    One step closer to my accreditation

    Wow that was good. Is this offered to all CMs or just the ones who want to get accredited?

    Blimey, I did mine in 9 months & that was considered quick at the time. I think I ended up with about 14 folders of work!

    I think many more people would sign up to do the NVQ if they knew they could do it that quick.

    Well done!

    Thank you all.

    I don't think i could sit and write essays etc i'm up until the early hours as it is with this job and its reams of paperwork.

    Now i have to wait for my network to pull their finger out and give me their paperwork...ironically enough its probably more than i have written for the NVQ.

    Anyway,I'm glad its all done

    Hi

    This cost me nothing. My borough wanted to charge me over £1500 for an NVQ3 but I got funded by the european social fund through a company called Mapalim http://www.mapalim.com/

    They offer courses for those living in London and the south east. It may be worth contacting them even if your not in that area to see if they can recommend an alternative supplier.

    Wll done, I thought I was moving quickly!!!

    I have 7 units complete and last 2 almost done and I started mine on 14th October'09.

    I was only given 9mths to complete so just got on with it

    Have to say though that my assessor is fantastic and has cross referenced loads of stuff!!
