NVQ 2 assessments on site

[chris watkins]

so when I got my tech which took a year and it got transferred onto the new cert why was it that about 8 of us that done it the same way had to do a minimum of 18month on site before we could hand our portfolios in?

i keep saying 6089 but I mean the new one the 6189

woo woo hold your horses !! one minute we are talking about the old 6129 tech cert + the 6089 NVQ & then suddenly it's all change to the 6189 NVQ Diploma.
My post where in regards to the old NVQ not the new which is combined on & off site modules, I not not know the details of the on site stuff.

sorry I checked it just then and Im on about the 6189, from last year 6089 and 6129 no longer run, its all about the 6189 now which is the tech and nvq at same time if you have the 6129 tech that ok youll just have to do the nvq side of the 6189 WHICH also requires a minimum of 18month on site training.

the assessor even when you have finished the portfolio still comes out every 3 month to make sure you are still actively in the trade and learning when you have done it for 18month you can then hand in your portfolio.

All this '6189' and '6129 Tech cert' utterly confuses me, why did they have to complicate things? I'm glad I got my levels 2&3 done and dusted years ago.

"I got my portfolio finished took me a few weeks to do but when I went to college to hand it in my assessor told me that c&g needed me to have a minimum of 18 month on site experience because you can not learn this trade in a few weeks!."


Aint that the truth. Weirdly I had to do two bathrooms from first fix to count as my hot and cold installs. Just goes to show I think they make some of it up as they go along. And even once I had my NVQ it still took me another year before I felt competent really.

you do have to do 2 bathrooms! but the assessor only needs to see connections, so basically do the bathrooms and when it comes to connecting the taps get the assessor out and thats 1 hot and cold ticked of.. its really that easy tbh buts its stupid. but on the new 6189 you need a min on 18 month experience and I am leaving this thread now its doing my box in. to the op and danny, you'll find out I am right eventually.

Just start a thread about part P. That should do it.

Then you have a fraudulently obtained NVQ qualification !!

Its a shame that you are another victim of this con by training providers who will just take you money & give away the qualification, it is devaluing what other have worked very hard to achieve & is having a impact right across the industry because employers are un-able to rely on it as a basic measure of competency.

NVQs are just box ticking an meaningless in the sense of proper training, nothing is better than proper experience gained working alonside someone whos been in the trade a while. youll probably say my nvqs are fraudulent as it only took two weeks of box ticking to gain a completed folio for an nvq2 and 8 weeks for an nvq3. all whilst self employed working as a plumber likewise acs training and exams for gas work, Ive yet to see anyone fail an acs assessment and Im sure we arent all brilliant and know it all! Problem today is no one knows how to accept failing at something and getting off their backsides and working at getting qualifications and passing exams through hard work and all goverments seem to encourage this attitude. please note this is only an old gits opinion and you dont have to agree!
