i see what you mean,at least i get all the evidence for myself! I'll let you know when i get my work back and if i need to resubmit any.In the meantime i'll keep plodding on with it and hope for the best,thanks for offering to listen to me its nice not to feel that i'm completely on my own,don't think people realise just how hard this course can be i suspect they just think i'm moaning or a bit thick,they're probably right on both counts!

Honestly it isn't just you. I struggle with matching it all up. I think I end up writing way too many reports just to make sure I have well and truly covered all the PC.

hi razorbladekisses,glad to hear that,you sometimes wonder if you're making things harder than what they should be .I've only had unit 10 returned so far and was hoping for feedback and maybe a few tips or ideas on how i'd done but all the assessor wrote was 'good work,well done' which was a relief to have met the standards but as i said dissapointing not to receive feedback saying i'd maybe gone into too much depth.I'm so trying /hoping to make it much easier ,in my dreams!

I know what you mean. Is your NVQ with the NPA or City&Guilds? Mine is with City&Guilds and in unit 2 it suggests the number of reports you should have for each element which was quite helpful. Does yours have some kind of guideline?

Maybe you could telephone your acessor and ask if he/she thinks you wrote to much. What does your tutor say when she authorises it before it's sent to the acessor?

How far have you got with both the modules and units and how long do you have to finish it?

Red face Re: Nvq3

hi there,mine is with NPA.yes it does give you a guide about how many reports to do .Unit 1,element 1 says 6 but i've done 9!Needed to do pharmacy assessment questions for clinical trials,modern medicines management and also did one on script forms to cover k14,k18 and k19.Did another on legal requirements to cover k3,k9,k17 and k30.does this sound right to you?Unfortunately i have a tutor who isn't interested in anybodys training she hardly looks at the reports,just signs them.The owner of the shop put me on the course but i hardly see him so i'm on my own apart from you people out there,its nice to just voice my opinion!i'm about half way through unit 1 at the moment and am due to finish the course next march when i might just get a life back with a bit of luck:

That sounds right. I think I had pharmacist assessment questions for those things. My tutor is the same It would be nice if they took a bit more interest wouldn't it.

So how many units and modules do you have left. I've got 7 units left and the assessment questions of 10 modules. Only have until March too
