A technical certificate is the 'taught' element of a qualification generally delivered in a college or training environment. The NVQ is work based assessment. Normally within apprenticeship frameworks you would be taught the technical element and then assessed on whether you can implement it in the work place.
Id recommend trying to read and understand the questions in your NVQ assessment paperwork before copying and pasting the questions here
18. Component Description and applicationRelay Relays are a special type of switch which is turned on and off by an electromagnet. When a current flows through the coil an electro-magnetic field is set up. The field attracts an iron armature, whose other end pushes the contacts together, completing the circuit. When the current is switched off, the contacts open again, switching the circuit off.A useful property of relays is that the circuit powering the coil is completely separate from the circuit switched on by the relay. For this reason relays are often used where a safe low-voltage circuit is being used to control a high-voltage circuit.Contactor A contactor is an electrically controlled switch used for switching a power circuit. A contactor is activated by a control input which is a lower voltage / current than that which the contactor is switching. Unlike general-purpose relays, contactors are designed to be directly connected to high-current load devices, not other control devicesCapacitor Capacitors store and discharge electrical current. They're made from 2 parallel metal plates separated by an insulator (dielectric) applications include;Smoothing rectified alternating current voltages into steady direct current voltagesBlocking direct current signals whilst allowing alternating signals to passFiltering out unwanted portions of a fluctuating signalTiming applicationsStoring charge to keep a transistor turned on or offSensor A sensor is a type of transducer. There is a massive range of sensors Direct-indicating sensors, for example, a mercury thermometer, are human-readable. Other sensors, such as thermocouples, only produce an output voltage or other electrical output which must be interpreted by another device (such as a computer).Resistor Resistors resist or 'slow down' the current in a circuit by acting against the flow of electrons.hope this helps your NVQ work
To qualify as an Electrician, a Level 3 Technical Certificate must be achieved. AM2 practical test and NVQ Level 3 are also required. You can then be graded as an Electrician.
There are two main ways of becoming a lighting technician. You could either qualify as an electrician or get practical experience in production lighting, or you could take a technical theatre course at college or university. Currently, to qualify as an electrician you will need either: · NVQ Level 3 Diploma in Electro-technical Services (Electrical Maintenance) or · NVQ Level 3 Diploma in Installing Electro-technical Systems and Equipment (Buildings and Structures).
An ordinary degree is equivalent to NVQ 4 and an Honours degree to NVQ 5.
Most colleges offer courses in NVQ 1,2 and 3 in nail technology, many courses run side by side with hair dressing and make-up technology. To be a basis nail technician you would need an NVQ 1 certificate.
NVQ level 2, NVQ level 3, NVQ level 4, health and Social Care
If you wish to advance to NVQ 3 Social Care or NVQ 4 Social Care Management the the answers can be found here:www.nvq-help.comwww.nvq-answers.com
NVQ 2 is a Health and Social Care adults course in the medical field.
An NVQ level 4 is seen as the equivalent of a HND in most institutions. You would be able to gain access to the third year of a degree course with your NVQ 4. I have an NVQ 4 in Management and was able to attend college part time and gained my degree in 12 months. I suggest you chat with your chosen institution. hope this helped a little.Need NVQ 4 in Social Care Management?? www.nvqhelp.info
NVQ level 2 and 3 in Health and Social care is what i am looking for as recognised qualifications in Australia.
You have to remember that the NVQ level 2 in social care is a grounding and relates to NVQ 3 in social care too, i mean that some of the units cross over. Spend some time fine tuning your answers for the NVQ level 2 in social care and this will help your level 3 social care qualification too. A site which provides the answers for NVQ 2 Social Care is: nvqanswers.com
You will need to attend college to attain an ASE or NVQ in Automotive Maintenance and then specialise. The SAAB Master Technician certificate is no longer available although this may change.
Someone can find more information about NVQ courses from a number of websites such as the NVQ Courses Hub. The website offers various courses in different levels for each individuals skill level.
