Hello everyone,

Please give me some recommendation which course I should to register? (Level 7 course is more expensive than Level 6 but no problem with me) Course provider has told me Level 7 is higher than Level 6 but I see on their syllabus, time to completed Level 7 is shorter than Level 6 (500 hours/ 1064 hours)

I also dont see "NVQ" on Level 7 qualification title => maybe it is not level 7 of National Vocational Qualifications (NVQs) ???

Detail of each course, you can see below:

Level 7 course

Level 6 course

Best Regards!

Reported - this is not to my mind a genuine question rather an advertising opportunity by someone paid to post (quite happy to be proved wrong - the user profile is atypical of spam).

IF it was a genuine enquiry it should have been placed in the "Study Support" forum where the merits of "NVQ" or not could be discussed.

thanks 2 users thanked Roundtuit for this useful post.

Why you think that is adverising post??? 

And forum has no requirement when choose ID profile then I will choose any nickname whatever I want.

At last, thank for your recommendation "to study support". I hope Moderate or Super Moderate can help me move that topic to "Study Support" section.

Best regards!

While I can not answer for Roundtuit, I also thought your post was advertising as it was your first post on these forums in the wrong section to discuss and link to courses/services, which I have not heard off. I doubt it's anything personal, it is something that is becoming more common on the forums.

Regards

George

What's not clear is what entry qualifications might be required for someone taking the Level 7 qualification - if one had to have e.g. a relevant Level 6 qualification to enrol on the Level 7 qualification that would reasonably explain why it takes half as many hours.

That it would still be more expensive than the Level 7 NVQ is not surprising as there would be far fewer people enrolling, so one tutor to far less candidates.

The way to compare them most easily is probably to ascertain where they sit on the European Qualifications Framework, noting as example that not all VQs (marketed as being at the same level) are equivalent on EQF.

Good luck whichever route you choose.
