    hi,

    I wasn't sure which section NVQ's belong to so i thought this would be closest apologies if not.

    I applied for a job hoping for a possible apprenticeship in the future in electrical but my employer has told me he wants to put me into NVQ training? i have read a bit about this but i still have some questions i didn't ask because i don't want to give bad impression to my employer and want honest answers...

    which is better NVQ or getting an apprenticeship?

    is it like getting a trade?

    will it allow me to travel to different countries like an apprenticeship would at the end?

    apologies if im confusing but this nvq stuff is very new to me i have not ever heard much of it before.

    Thanks!!

    All I know is that NVQ is the UK equivalent of FETAC. Are you in Northern Ireland?
