am2 before nvq expired

Nothing of consequence here as I posted in the wrong thread.

Oh.

Do you got any books you recommend I read as a newbie?

You could pick up a copy of the on site guide as it isn't quite as dry as BS7671.

I would recommend John Ward's youtube channel for a good grounding in the basics (and much more).

On site guide by "Unite the Union", easier to understand than all the others.

An NVQ does not expire, you either have one or you don't.

your getting this wrong
i had 2 months left on a extension on the nvq only had a bit to go to finish i didnt finish it
i went for the am2 passed half . found it to hard while i was still doing the nvq
1.5 years later i decided to have another go at the am2 and i passed with 2 months left out of the 2 years to do it
i had 2 years to do resits on the am2

so basically i have to do the newer nvqs which seem a pain in the arse

so yes once you start the am2 you have 2 years to complete it
i now have the certif for the am2

Odd that you were able to undertake the AM2 without first achieving one of the qualifications required for entry, but it seems you managed to do so.

I guess if you have used up all available course extensions the provider would require you to start again. Unfortunate, but that's how it goes. No one here will be able to change the terms and conditions of a contract between you and the training provider.

No idea how we all managed to misunderstand the issue - I guess people just don't pay attention to detail these days.
