Hi Driverman, yes I'm currently employed and therefore don't think I would be eligible for funding, but thanks for the suggestion, I'm sure there may be others who this will help.
Yes you're right Siriusdave, the college programme leader has confirmed the course is now the C&G 2365, and that level 2 will take approx 2 years and level 3 another year. These can then be substituted into the NVQ L3 (2357) diploma as 'knowledge' units and then the 'performance' units are undertaken on the job to satisfy the NVQ L3 requirements.
Another quick question, presumably electricians are only really looking to take people on who have some form of qualification behind them (ie C&G 2365 level 2) instead of someone like myself who has no
electrical qualifications other than GCSE electronics, is that right? Saves me embarrasing myself by applying prematurely.
I'm very grateful for the info guys. It's a bit confusing at first but I think I have managed to get my head around it.
