When i started my NVQ i had only been in the sector for 3months, but it was at my managers discression that I was asked to do it.
I do not agree that NVQ stands for not very qualfied as I take pride of my qualfication, but i do feel like it has been slightly degraded.
I would love to do my EYPS, but as I am not yet 21 this is not possible, at this current time i'm just playing the waiting game.
On the other hand, why do I need a piece of paper to tell people what I am capable of doing with children at my setting.
The staff I work with, both qualfied and not are fantastic workers, and some of those without qualfications, have more experience in childcare than those that do!
If i did not complete my level 3 within a setting I would not of gained the knowledge and understanding of children that I have.
