Questions and answers
I worked as a Motor Bike/Cars Technician. I want to do the NVQ Level 3 course here in UK. Kindly advice which is the course for my Job Title.
Answer:Hi thanks for your query. You can study a progression course with an FE course in the UK. Unfortunately we don’t have a course in motor or bike technician. You can do a level 3 diploma in business management with us which would be a good add on to the level 3 technical quals you have completed. On completion, progress to university for 3 year degree is possible. More details on website or email admin at ukversity dot co dot uk
This was helpful.Hi is this a UK course? Is this equivalent to NVQL3? OR HNC THANKS
Answer:The NVQs (National Vocational Qualifications) are based on national occupational standards. NVQ Level 3 equivalent – 2 A Levels. The OTHM level 3 is a regulated qualification framework course which is equivalent to 2A level as NVQ level 3. The OTHM level 3 course will lead to university admission to an undergraduate degree.
This was helpful.I have Diploma of associate Engineer in Electronic (DAE 3 years).what should I do? is am I eligible for Level 5
Answer:Thanks for your questions. We would need to look at the Engineering Diploma in Electronic, to find equivalency in the UK. it will also depend on the numbers of years of schooling you have done. Ideally, learners from overseas (outside UK/EU) who have done 12 years of schooling, take admission into a level 3 course. So if you have done the 3-year diploma in engineering, was it done after your 10th year of schooling? from which country? drop an email to admin at ukversity dot co dot uk
