Oldham College Level 3 Part Time

[Kay101]

Yes, sorry you CAN do level 3 at colleges discretion, although they don't always make that clear.

They have to make several considerations though, the handbook states they must either have a level 2 or have the equivalent experience/skills etc. or similar
so direct level 3 for somebody without a level 2 is likely to be rare

I think thats mis informed
If you want to eventually be gas safe and havent the 2 you can forget it.

You don't need any qualifications to go for your ACS

If your granny has the relevant experience and is willing to undertake the minimal training and have signed written evidence of this then thats fine.

No qualification needed

I do not know if it is still the case but you could get an adult appreniceship at many colleges where you could do it as self employed as well as employed .
You do need a mentor if you go the self employed route
This was all financed by the goverment my mate did it despite having a degree and having worked as an engineer he started at level 1 !
They did make him do english and maths basic skills too !
He now has a very good business employing people too so it can be done and at very little cost if you look around .
