Hi Everyone, i have been told by my firm that they will not pay for the full NVQ lvl5 course but may pay part due to restructure of the company and tightning of purse strings. what are my options as i can supply the evidence part of the course as i am currently doing the role to a high degree but dont have the funds to spare to splash out 1700 on a course. 

i have been in the role for 6 years with a mix of environments from airports to nuclear but with my wife's health deteriorating need to restrict my spending to cover the future.

Regards Ross

Hi Mrrossi

if you are still looking to pursue the qualification then take a look at SHEilds Ltd, They are a UK & International  Safety Training provider who are accredited with a number of awarding bodies. They offer an online e-learning route to the qualification you are pursuing & I believe offer good rates for both the City & Guilds & proqual level 5/6 Diplomas.

Hello

Might be worth also looking at the NCRQ route. Gives you a Level 6 Diploma, which you can do in 3 parts to spread the cost out (total is £1500 I think). They also do a payment plan, although the intrest rate isn't best its another option worth looking at. I have funded all my own qualifications so I know the struggle.
