i used this site some time back when going through all my nvq's and it was so helpful. hence i've stuck my head back in again, so will pop in from time to time and help anyone out if needed, best thing to remember, as i'm sure alot of others on here will say, is the nvqs are not as hard as they look, if they were in plain english would be a whole lot easier.
they are just about things that you do every day, probably without even thinking. i've done care for 28 years and boy, have i seen some changes!!!!

hi dallas, i may just be picking your brains in the future. glad to see that you think its all written in martian too. nice to hear somone that has stuck "care work" out. there are to many people that give up (usually due to low pay lol) all credit to you

keep happy

too right, the pay is disgusting for what we do, why do we do it??????
evidently the nvq's are not in plain english as they are formetted by government bodies who have never done care work in their lives.

now i going to make you laugh. after me moaning about low pay ive just got my deputy bonus and a pay rise of 12.5 %. maybe i should moan about the weather lol!!!!!!

hi Dallas happy to here that you still come hre to have a look to se if you can help out. I wish i was finished with my nvq , this is the first one m doing i a got straight the nvq 3. But i think its so hard that i ave no clue where to start.

HI PEGGY IM THE SAME IVE FINISHED MY L2 STARTED L3 IN DEC ANSWERED HSC 31 AND 32 STRUGGLING THOU

the level 3 is really not too bad, u must obviously be senior care to be on that one. just as with level 2, it's things you do every day, well level 3 take yourself a step higher, it's all about how you work with carers etc, how u as senior care help them in their daily work.
yes, its same as 2, very daunting to start, but once you start the first piece it'll all fall into place.
