Training as a spark

[ParkySparky]

Hi after some advise please

My mate who I work with has been offered to have his training paid for by our new company so he can get qualified!

What's the best way for him to go about this?

I did apprenticeship from school so city and guilds, nvq3 am2 all included!

What c&g course is best for him and do you have to do nvq3?

 

[gavindrummond]

Depends entirely on his level of skills, knowledge and competencies. If he is completely new he may be able to get on to the NVQ level 2 and go from there while doing the 2330 level 2 as well. Hope this helps. P.s.

Is he going through a training body like jtl?

 

[ParkySparky]

No don't think so, I did mine through jtl when I was 16 but he's 32. He already has c&g and nvq level 1,2,3 in mechanical engineering, CNC machining etc so he is quite capable of achieving quals.

Like I said mine was all sorted for me so just wondering how you went about it on your own!

Thanks for the reply

C&G 2330 level 2 (2 years)

C&G 2330 level 3 (1 year)

NVQ level 3 ( complete on site and in college)

C&G 17th edition (1 week)

C&G 2391 (1 week)

2391 is changing soon into two separate modules. So he may have to do the two new modules.

I have assumed he will be working for the company for 4 days a week and going to college 1 day a week.

Yeah he works with me as my mate, the collage near us does the 2330 over two evenings a week so that's not a problem.
