Course Overview
The full title of this qualification is City and Guilds Level 3 NVQ Diploma in Electrotechnical Technology (2357).
Upon enrolment onto the Level 3 NVQ 2357 you will need to complete a bridging assessment. Successful completion of this assessment, along with your prior knowledge, will lead to completion of the theory modules of the NVQ leaving you to complete the evidence portfolio only.
This course consists of you building your evidence portfolio, putting everything you have learnt from your previous courses into practice in the real world and collecting the evidence to show your work. We will oversee the administration of your portfolio and provide feedback on evidence collected as you go along.
Upon completion of your portfolio you will need to complete an AM2 assessment. This is a 2 day assessment carried out by an independent assessor (please note this will incur an extra cost). Only after you have successfully passed your AM2 will you gain your diploma qualification.
