Re: NVQ levels ?
|
I'm an NVQ Assessor in Animal and Equine Care and used to work for a company called KEITS in Herts. They basically recruited yards on the basis that the LSC pays for 16-25 yr olds to do the NVQs.
There was pressure on us to pass students, even if they weren't up to standard. The amount of 'help' that was expected was ridiculous.
NVQ's aren't really recognised in the horse world. It's Stages that are the ones to go for.
Despite them meant to be vocational courses, they are sold as being practical....but really there is alot of paperwork and writing involved.
