I see NVQ's as very positive qualifications, particularly in the caring profession, where the assessment is thorough and promotes good practice and communication. I trained as an assessor when I was a manager, and it was the most challenging training I ever did.
I'm planning on doing a teaching qualification in the autumn, so I can teach the odd night school course. You don't have to have a specialist subject to do FE teaching, thank goodness. Bron.
