Train to Gain or FE Funded NVQ route? - 10-04-08 17:07
by: Millie
Can anyone tell me what they think the best route is. I am about to start my NVQ 3 at a local college and have been offered Train to Gain funding, which means my course is paid for, but I do not get a bursary from them and there are no training workshops to attend. They have said that as the setting I work for only has 30 people I can get funding for staff to replace me when I need to be outside of ratios etc.,
On the other hand I can access a bursary from Early years and they have also said that I may get £500.00 towards my books and I can attend workshops every other week to support my knowledge and understanding of the units in hand.
Could anyone let me know their experience of either route, would my NVQ path be easier in one as opposed to the other.
