We are looking for institutes in the UK which offer NVQ placements to overseas students, we are after 1 year placements for NVQ's in which students receive an allowance whilst on the placement.
I would also like to discuss if accommodation is on offer and what sort of price the student would be expected to pay.
Unfortunately the funded nvq courses are usually only for staff members who have residency in the UK for 3 years or more. The usual requirements that need to be met are:
Residency – Either an UK / EU or EEA resident for 3 years or more
Working Hours – Employed minimum 30 hours per week (Exceptions can apply)
Previous Qualification – Must not have higher than a level 4 or degree equivalent qualification
do you mean apprenticeships? NVQs are from the system we had before, now i think everything is part of the QCF so now they are called certificates and diplomas. in any case i really don't think you would get paid or get accomodation, what kind of course are you referring to?
apprenticeships are the only kind of thing that i can think of where you would get paid during your training, and maybe your employer would help you find accomodation if you need it. not sure they are available to overseas students though...
