Those registration dates are put back to dec incase the new qual isnt ready. therefore if the new qual is ready in sep thats the one people will go on. its like a safety net. They have to have a long certification date as it is unfair for someone to start a course and not be allowed to finish. so if you start the 6129 you will continue past this sep
 
This has been pull straight from the ATL website regarding their training course.

Has he been Andy, anyone else any new updates? Seemed to have gone quiet with all this.

Also , the message dont seem to be out there. the number of people who have come on here saying they are doing a tech cert next year!
 
no fuzzy he's due to go at the start of may, and once he's been he will know the outcome 100%, but the way he keeps on talking i think he already knows the outcome, wich is that the 6129 will be no more and the new course with nvq included will be put in place. so if you have no work place recorder than you cannot complete the whole qualifaction.
 
What about people who have completed the tech certificate but not started the nvq level 2. Should i try and get started with my nvq or wait? what is best?
 
When are we going to find out Fuzzy, Im due to do my short course this month and have my 6129 by june shall i enrol now to avoid the change or what m8.

if you are not employed in the sector you cannot do a course after this summer (if the new courses r ready that is) so it may be your only option to get a start if you sign straight away. if your signed on a course u can carry on with the course. just new entrants
 
your workplace recorder will be your assessor on the day, thats if you are self employed though.

I am a little concerned with regards the 6129 cert that I am currently enrolled onto with and studying at OLCI Manchester on a part time basis. I have completed 2 of the workshops already and am due to sit the first assessment shortly. Is this qualification going to be worth anything at the end of the course or will it be a waste of 5.5K Would I be able to claim anything back?

its a good qual for learning the skills but it isnt industry rcognised. you need the nvq2 at least for that, they may charge more for that. i think 5.5k is alot for a basic unrecognised qual but its your money
 
i think you paid 5.5 k for the 6129 TC and the 6089 nvq 2 if so yes carry on, get the TC out of the way and and then go on to gain your nvq 2. this is the minimal qual.
 
privately tech certs are available until december this year, so if your paying full cost you can still do the qual this year
 
I have just E-Mailed C&G customer relations. As follows:-

Hi, I'm starting a 6129 C&G level 2 in plumbing in September.
There seem to be rumours in the industry that this qualification is being phased out and i'm worried that it will be worthless in the future. Is it being replaced by a diploma? If so what will this mean for me?
Thanks in advance.

James Pemberton

They said they will reply within 2 days......will let you all know what they say!
 
thye will say, if this is at a private training provider, no problem. if its a college and you want to pay full cost no problem. if your expecting funding and you are starting in sep then you may not get to start, if it goes ahead as i am told then the funding for 6129 will stop in july this year. it dont matter if you pay full cost though, you have until decemebr 30th to start, and 18months to finish

This was their reply:

"this only affects new candidates, so you will not be affected in any way".

And that's it! Very Helpful! Not
