Zen Yoga, Thursdays 10am (IN-PERSON)
By Mark Westmoquette
Join Mark on Thursday mornings to move, explore, and wake up to your true nature. Mark's classes are all about re-connecting the body and mind in order to find a sense of health, integration, freedom and kindness. Most of the time his classes are based around the seasons, since the Zen energy system is very connected to the time of year and changing seasons.
The NVQ Level 3 is designed to provide both new entrants and those seeking progression in their career, with the opportunity to develop the necessary skills to carry out job roles and responsibilities associated with the installation and maintenance of Electrotechnical systems. There are two options to complete the NVQ Level 3 in Electrical Installations, these are the C&G 2346 and C&G 2357. Successful completion of the NVQ and AM2 assessment will satisfy the entry criteria for JIB accredited electricians
Who is this Level 3 NVQ aimed at? The electrical NVQ is designed for those with five or fewer years of experience in the electrical industry, and who have completed their City & Guilds 2365 Level two and three diplomas. Prior to joining, candidates will be assessed on their readiness for the Level 3 NVQ. What does this Electrical NVQ cover? This Level 3 Diploma covers Domestic, Commercial, and Industrial sectors – it will include a range of units of New Installations such as: Health and Safety Overseeing and organising work environment Applying environmental legislation Inspection and Testing Fault finding Professional discussions with assessors AM2 (this is a separate course and has an additional cost.) This is not a training course; it is an assessment of competence. Unlike other courses, this will not be based in a classroom or workshop – instead, candidates will complete this qualification on work placement. Candidates will complete electrical installations on-site, and they will then be assessed by a qualified assessor, building their portfolio. Only a small amount of this will involve going to a training centre. Before entering a workplace, your assessor will go over and help you understand: How to build a portfolio What range of evidence is required to meet the qualification criteria What assessors are looking for in order for candidates to demonstrate full professional competence Assessors will use a range of methods to evaluate candidate’s electrical installations such as; witness testimony, photographic evidence, direct observation, and reflective accounts. How long does the NVQ take to complete? The length differs for each candidate as it depends on how quickly they take to cover the types of work required to complete all units. If you have been working in the industry, previous jobs can be used as evidence to hurry the process up. What qualifications will I gain? Once candidates have completed their portfolio and other assessments, they will gain a formal City & Guilds Level 3 NVQ certificate. When candidates have completed their NVQ, they must move on to the AM2 end point assessment, which must be completed at an AM2 approved centre, such as our Sheffield centre.
The NVQ Level 3 is designed to provide both new entrants and those seeking progression in their career, with the opportunity to develop the necessary skills to carry out job roles and responsibilities associated with the installation and maintenance of Electrotechnical systems. The EWR is for electricians who have been working in the industry for at least 5 years but have not formally completed an industry apprenticeship or Level 3 NVQ qualification. Successful completion of the NVQ and AM2 assessment will satisfy the entry criteria for JIB accredited Gold Card status.
