Thanks for the feedback - I have also known them referred to as 'Not Very Qualified' - but the standard now expected is now a little higher as the BHS will now reconise them as a Qualification. Just intersted to hear if anyone actually found them useful and worthwhile. From an employers point of view then yes we do get paid a small amount for each student but we have to put time across for training and overseeing all work done.
Just interested to see who, these type of qualications attract and if people gained anything from their training.
