NVQ evidence gathering query

[Elec38]

I’m looking to complete level 3 soon and then the NVQ (I also posted about a catch 22 with this).
From reading the forum some advice is to do work in our own home, for friends and whenever possible free of charge or as an electricians mate with an experienced electrician.

Could I start gathering evidence now or do I need to complete level 3 first / enrol on the NVQ first?

Thanks

Gather relevant evidence as and when you can. The more you can complete at an early stage, the less you'll have to do later on.

You can find the 2357 logbook on the city and guilds website. It tells you all of the units and what your expected to cover. But best to take photos of everything.

Also in the same position just about to start the NVQ

Do the nvq3 with the forum sponsor xs training. It’s the best around. No evidence gathering. Speak to them before signing up with anyone else

How does a portfolio go together without evidence?

Xs training take pictures whilst your in the videocall. I was worried about all the work involved but they make it so easy. Honestly, look into it. They are forum sponsors so there may be a discount

It was so easy. You can do work at home as long it it’s on the evidence sheet they send you

How long did it take you to complete the portfiolio with XS?

 

[casperLennon]

I paid monthly so basically when I paid the last instalment it was completed. I think it was 10 months. But I can’t remember if i read it or was told it but the quickest one was done in 28 days.

 

[casperLennon]

Also they write it all up for you. So easy

Thats real fast. Good work. Did you do the SIlver or Gold package?

 

[casperLennon]

I think it was the silver. I paid for the am2 separate. Although I wish I’d of done the gold so I was all sorted
