Hi timmylums Thanks for your reply. I wonder how many other people are in the same boat. I understand that having a HNC means you are good at writing essays! but not necessary good with the practical side. Unfortunately, unlike your friend's course though the HNC does not include a compulsory placement. Although I have been working part time in a nursery for the last two years, so do have experience to go along with my qualification but unfortunatley on the HNC we do not get assessed in the workplace.
I am now considering going back to college in September to do a level 3 but as I didn't enjoy the NVQ I'm thinking about doing a BTEC. However, the college are saying I might not get funding as I have a level 4! Which I don't think is very fair considering the college put me on the level 4 without warning me that I would need a level 3 in the first place.
I think it is disgusting that your friend was only paid unqualified salary even though she had a degree. I have been told that someone with a degree can become a teacher without having to do a level2 or 3. I wonder how that one works?
