Jason King dosent work for them any more

I have had a few guys who have been on this tiling course and all seem to know what it is to be a tiler, but they do lack the experience in dealing with problems when they arise. Then again experience just means you've made your mistake lol. The course does teach them well.

Just really to want to bring to your attention not every case is the same, as an assessor you make a judgement call on what is both timely and cost effective as well as what evidence has already been produced.
The assessor may choose to use a varied sort of methods to assess competency's. Above all the NVQ is a competency based qualification, what i mean by saying that it does'nt prove you are a skilled tiler, but only one that knows what he or she is doing. so there is no pass par say, it would be up to the assessor to train the individual on any short comings. I've met some novice tilers and seasoned tilers. some breeze though some dont. But they all get the certificate in the end cause thats my job to achieve that

Methods of Assessment
The assessor will plan with you to choose the best method of assessing you in relation to your individual circumstances.
Assessors must ensure that they are:
• Valid
• Reliable
• Safe and manageable
• Suitable to your needs.
The main assessment methods are for these NVQs:
• Observation by an assessor of you doing something.
• Examining submitted evidence by an assessor.
• Questioning of you or a witness by an assessor.

Verification
Internal verification
The purpose of internal verification is to make sure and show that assessment is valid and consistent, through monitoring and sampling assessment decisions. Internal verifiers must agree the use of simulated activities before they take place and must sample all evidence produced through simulated activities.

Access to assessment
Assessment aims to ensure that centres allow that all candidates are given equal opportunity to demonstrate their competence for the NVQ against specified criteria.
All of the specified criteria must be met by all candidates independently
However, candidates may use mechanical, electronic and other aids in order to demonstrate competence so long as the aids are generally commercially available.

So an assessor a long with their IV make the call if you are deemed competent to the NVQ standard.

There was a post on here from a member who had a text about getting an NVQ in 2 days, can't remember who it was now.

That was me beam, NVQ any trade, two days. A complete joke imo:mad2:

 

[Max@ableskills]

Its ridiculous, how are they getting round the IV and EV checks who are supposed to be checking the assessor has done the correct work, sounds fraudulant to me. Makes the NVQ just a worthless piece of paper if anyone can get it by thes means

I could not agree with you more darren

yes mate, i also had a long questionaire to fill in too. i knew most of the answers anyway as i've been tiling a long time but there was a lad local to me who came to me for help (sent by jason king) and he knew bugger all and still passed. no site assesment whatsoever.

I would never sign off a NVQ without a site visit. I want to see work based evidence not simulated evidence. My IV would simply not sign it off and as an IV myself i would do the same to other assessors.

Lol NVQ in two days.

Unless it was the EWPA route which involves several visits to the training centre for profiling, reviews and then practical tasks followed by professional discussion.

Practical task and professional discussion can be done in two days but initial profiling and reviews can take the assessor several weeks and often months.

So from start or registration to finish in two days simply not possible.

Lol. more than welcome to train with us gooner59. gooners are very welcome lol

 

[Oleschool]

yet the experience workers can go the EWPA route and simulate there practical.

I had a occasion were a site visit was not possible due to the candidate's lack of work ( relevant at the moment). This tiler had been earning his living prior to needing a NVQ. As an assessor i gained evidence to prove he was an experienced and very competent tiler. Site visit's by an assessor are used more readily as it can be deemed reliable and valid. Also we can quickly gain good evidence and cover a great deal of the criteria need.
