I was involved in writing the original syllabus many years ago. Its was an nvq mind not the updates cg 1852, Both are reasonably courses mind for a grounding.

I did it (or 1853? can't remember tbh) a couple of years back with an NVQ. Didn't rate it much as i knew what i was doing by then (shutup before anyone starts).

could give these guys a call?

still no luck nearest one is yeovill college fudge that!

will see what our inspector thinks he used to teach it!

It's now the 1853 Knowledge Course, college based or the 2882 Old NVQ now called QCF which is work based learning and assessment.

We do it in Gateshead, bit far for you to travel.

Why impose a restriction of having to be already in the trade?

Some say quals should be a necessity, imposing a restriction shows how little thought goes into planning for the future in the industry.

I assume it would work like an apprentice scheme. So as such need to be active?
