Nvq 3 Ccld & Gcse

[lyns74]

Hiya

I have just had meeting with my assessor,am almost at end of course(thank goodness!) but was told it is requirement of course to have GCSE's in Maths and English,or be working towards these.
This was news to me!!!!
Has enyone heard or been told this?.

wot for NVQ level 3....yes i have heard about when ur being enrolled this is a requirement...but not at the end of the course...LOL

[lyns74]

I was suprised as i declared what qualifications i had when i started the course 3 years ago.Nothing more was said until today.

GCSEs...u need 4 an NVQ???

i'd rather do an IT course and show my GCSEs..hehee!!

An G/NVQ 3 is equivelent to 2 and1/2 A levels so i guess as such usually before starting a course you are expected to have reached a certain level of education prior to starting it

I have gcses in maths (grade b) and english (grade a) as well as 7 other gcses all grade c and above, and 2 a levels... but was told that as they were taken more than 3 years ago, they don't count anymore??!!! So I have now had to do Key skills in Communication and Application of Number, which has involved producing a whole portfolio of work, then sitting 2 exams! Luckily I found out last week that I passed both exams! But I was told that without these I could not successfully complete my CCLD NVQ level 3 and become qualified!???!!!


Anyone else had to do these key skills or heard that GCSEs are out of date after 3 years??!!???

yes i am doing my nvq level 3 and also assignment 005-009 and doing key skills i was told i had to do this because my GCSEs were out of date. then a while back another staff member started her nvq level 3 and doesnt have to do assignments just the units and found out yesterday she doesnt have to do keyskills even though her GCSEs were years ago i asked assessor why and she said it is all to do with the funding available at the time you sign up which seems very strange to me but nothing i can do about it her nvq will take about 8 months where as mine will take about 18 months

Some of the people on my course had to do core skills in literacy and maths. I passed my 'o' levels 26 years ago but managed to get through on production of my certificates, plus sitting a literacy and numeracy test at the college (got level 3 (I think) on literacy, level 2 in numeracy (technically a fail)! Not sure what the criteria is though, so not much help!
