New college ruling

[andyg0507]

After succesfully being allowed onto the level 1 plumbung course at my local college i have been told by the tutors that anyone now wanting to progress onto the 6129 level tech cert has to be in employent

I know this is the case for the nvq level 2

Has any one else heard this???

nah! not heard that thats news to me, i cant see that bein right to be honest..

Sounds like their rule as they will get a lot of drop outs .

so ive been told this is the doing of the goverment??? but who knows, is this just a thing to make life easier for the tutors??

Is it not because you wont be fully qualified without nvq's ? And for that u need on the job experience

the employment part is for the 6129 tech cert, not the nvq level 2, i myself cannot understand why they are saying as of 2010 you need to be in employment for the tech cert.

once ive found more info out regarding this i will post on here, in the mean time if anyone else has any info let me know.

thanks

we may have covered this but when it changes there will not be a tec cert, only the diploma which yes you have to be employed
