Nvq3

[SAMMY]

Hi,not very computer literate so just testing really to see if this works.feel the need to moan about nvq3 because its doin my head in.on unit 1 at the moment and having trouble trying to tie in all the knowledge points into my reports,seem to be doing pharmacy assessments more than i feel i should,does anybody else have the same problem or is it just me being a bit dim?

Hi Sammy
It's not you at all. I have finished my NVQ 3 but remember being so frustrated with collecting all that evidence and then doing all the write-ups etc!!!!!!!!!!! It drove me mad......................
I just ended up collecting anything and everything to try and link it all as evidence and get enough to finish and submit my stuff. I did get a lot of help from my assessor and tutor though so maybe you could talk to them about how you're feeling.
Hang in there as it's worth it in the end.................

hi sammy
I agree with you I'm doing Unit 1 at the mo and find myself being on the computer at home till late some evenings after a hard days shift in work
Roll on next march when it's all over with

[SAMMY]

Its been 5 weeks since i sent off units 3 and 11 and i still don't know if i've met the standards.tutors on hols apparently,fed up of waiting!

[dizzyb23]

Blimey!!! That's a long time. I sent all my units off at the same time and had to wait a long time to hear if i'd passed or not. You can always call the people at the assessment centre. I think I rang the external assessor several times. They are there to help and support you as much as assess your work.
It will all be over very soon though.

[welshoney]

I sent my units 3 and 11 off about 3 weeks ago, so hopefully mine due back soon

Sammy I would ring them to make sure they have recived them

[SAMMY]

hi,welshoney,i have rung them and was told my stuff is still with the tutor and that the tutor has been on holiday,suspense is killing me!guess i'll just have to learn to be patient.
Good luck with your results,let me know when you get them.

[welshoney]

thanks will do my collegue is doing the couyrse the same time as me, she sent hers off a week before mine and she's had hers back and didn't have to re submit anything. i bet mine will come tomorrow when I@m off

same to you to x x

[SAMMY]

Thats good that you've got a collegue doin it aswell,i'm the first one to do it and the only one doing it ,i work for a small independent chemist and don't have anyone to talk to about it really.Just gonna have a go at doing another report now,probably take me about ten hours!have a nice day off

[welshoney]

in one way it is good that we are doing it the same time, but also it's hard. as we are both looking for the same evidence.....so can be difficult when you are looking for a particular piece of evidence to cover a range or knowledge.
It happened last week, my collegue had an english rx (as we live in Wales) so she could cover charges and exemptions..I'll have to cover it with a pharmacy question.

I too work for an independant.
If you need to talk about this I'm happy to help
