I have a few students who are on the new level 3 standards and are really struggling with their written work, their knowledge is good, but they are stalling handing in questions and building a portfolio etc... and asking for help with everything, to the point that im getting quite stressed. Im working very long hours and then spending a lot of time doing very detailed observations to ensure i see them do everything to help out, and im not that familiar with these new standards, these are the first candidates ive assessed on them, but i cant carry on like this. Has anyone else who struggles with written work, or is assessing someone who struggles found a good way t…

Help! I'm stuck on this question. Ke 6 contingencies and variations in routine likely to occur I've nearly finished my NVQ, just have a few questions on the optional units to answer and my mind has gone blank. Can't find any help in the student workbook, so any ideas to point me in the right direction would be gratefully received.

Hi, I have been an NVQ assessor now for over 2 years for one college and we complete the NVQ's in units (301 - then 302 so an observations and evidence (candidate reports, work products, Professional discussions etc) for each unit NO CROSS referencing) and use knowledge evidence questions and case studies for evidence. Now I am working for another college and they complete the whole of the NVQ holistically!! Can anyone give me advice?? They also dont' want loads of paperwork so now candidate report only q+a's and professional discussons.

Hi Having completed my NVQ2 about a year ago, I am now thinking of doing an NVQ3 however I notice that this covers the age range of 0 to 16 and my area of interest in the 5's and under. With this in mind should I be concidering the Cache diploma in preschool practice instead and can anyone tell me the actual difference between the two qualifications? Thankyou Sharon

Certificates

Can I ask - how long have people had to wait to receive their NVQ3 certificate (or any other from CACHE) after completing their course. AND, at what point is someone deemed 'qualified'. I was under the impression that I became 'qualified' at the point the verifyer deemed my work 'good' and requested CACHE create a certificate for me? I ask this question because I completed my NVQ3 (Early Years Care & Ed) course in June. All my units and Admin file were checked by my assessor and then, on 21st June, handed in my presence to the internal verifyer. I was told by my assessor that it would take approx 2 weeks for the verifyer to read through and then approx 2 weeks…

I am a couple of months into my NVQ3 and we have been asked to do an Action Plan using SMART Objectives. I am finding this very hard as my areas for improvement are not easy to fix, they are personal faults rather than gaps in my training. I wondered if other students are chosing their weaknesses to suit the training they already have planned and changes they are already planning in their practices. Or is that cheating??!? Thanks Debbie

Totally Confused

I have to make a decision in the next couple of days. Its been a long while coming but should I take on Childrens Care Learning and Development level 4 which I have been told I can complete within 18 months or go to Northumbria University to do the level 4 in Professional Practice which can be done by next summer. If I wish to do more of the admin and finance of the settings rather than the childcare which would u choose? Scared of making the wrong decision again. In a round about way I have been told the Professional Practise is not child related but it does say on the blurb it is for schools. It will get me 60 points for degree. My head is in bits again. I go one way th…
