Route to NVQ 3 with a difference?

[obseen16]

Hi guys, after 9 years in the trade (Self employed for 5 of them) i decided its probably time to get the nvq level 3.

currently i hold my C&G 6129 level 2, ACS, CCN1 and appliances, meters, unvented, part L, Flue gas analysis, LPG, Boats Caravans and probably done every boiler manufacturer course going

I have been gas safe registered for the past 4 years

But its always bugged me that i never got round to doing my NVQ 3,

its been so long i simply have no idea which courses i should bother to do, is it still worth me doing the NVQ 3 and if so what courses would i need to complete to get me there??

Cheers guys,

if your se, are you going to pay yourself more for being nvq3 qualified

its not really about earning any extra money. i have a great customer base now, i just want to do it for personal development / sense of self worth etc

Yeah, been GSR for almost 5 years, got to do the resit next year.

This would be like Alan Sugar deciding he wants to go back & re-do his gcse's.... I can't see any point at all... You have made a successful job of your business & have the client base to prove it, nvq l3 ain't gonna change much...

But Allan sugar can't spell,he's at the top of his game and might just fancy some learning I think your not working hard enough if you have time to think about nvq.

I would consider adding extra technologies to your belt, or conisder getting green deal certified as an installer, - you'll learn some, and also add opportunities for your business.

I add new skills and certifications each year because a) I enjoy learning and b) it helps my business.

I am also a chartered engineer, and have a cpd program.

The moment you stop learning you start to die ALso it acts as a check as the the way you have done things in the past.

Just because you've done them that way for 5, 10, 15 years, doesn't- mean they are the right way to do them
