So i have completed the first and second module. (I completed the second one first as teh NPA didnt send me out a marking form with my first module. All it took was 11 calls to them with me pleading them, offering them a kidney and they finally posted one...but that is another story!).
I have had my results back about a week after i have sent it (love my marker!) and recieved an A for my first module and A+ for my second...but now i am left waiting for my third module. I work in a very busy pharmacy where i am one of the main dispensers doing over 3,500 items a week. I am sure you all appreciate the need to stay on top of the modules. I would rather be ahead as this allows for any ley-way with staff shortages et. (Apparently the plague has hit down and everyone other staff member is infected, i need a SARS style mask to survive it think ).
I just wanted to know how long it took for others to recieve their modules and complete them? I am loving the course, even though i am having to redo the first 4 modules again but oh well. Thats life.
I have heard many horror stories about the NVQ3, but it cant be worse then my degree tbh.
I have not long finished my NVQ3 (Aug 2011) and I always had my next module delivered before I had submitted the one I was working on or just as I had posted it, which was a good thing in a way because I could get to work on it as soon as. Although I didn't get any study time at work and it was all done in my own time (nights, weekends and my day off) I did manage to keep to the time allocated so I didn't run over and panic for the next module, and each one used to take me about 5 weeks to do. I really enjoyed the course and feel very proud of myself for completing it and gaining a distinction. Good luck with yours xxx
