Hello mate i did my nvq in 2001 at the sheffield college and lasted 32 weeks full time cost £910 i think to b precise
Definately look into it type wot ever region u r from in google and ring the local colleges up that offer these courses as to give u an open prespective of tiling as a whole.
1, U get alot more for ur money at college
2, Qualifications at the end if u pass all your assemsments accordingly
I am not certain but a few people did say to me that the course has been condensed and the price also so sud be cheaper
I believe Muffman who sadly is on holiday in Mexico is currently in the middle of his Nvq and told me of many changes since i did mine.
All depends on what u want to achieve do u want to learn take ur time out and do it over a long period of time OR
Do u think u could learn the basics in a week course and go it alone and learn as u go along
All comes down to personal circumstances
All the best Raja
PS if u need any further help do not hesitate to ask
