The BTEC Level 3 Diploma in Professional Competence for IT and Telecoms Professionals is designed specifically for copper and fibre engineers who need to have their skills and competence recognised through a Level 3 NVQ qualification. The qualification is online – there is no need to leave work and attend a course. Engineers need to build a portfolio of evidence gathered from the work that they do. This qualification can be completed as quickly as the engineer can complete their portfolio.

I have completed my Level 3 qualification with VQ Training to be able to get my CSCS Gold Card. They were really helpful throughout and gave me support when I needed it to build my portfolio of evidence. The online learning system was really simple to use and it meant that I could answer questions and upload evidence when I was online. I would definitely recommend VQ Training.

After gaining level 3 Diploma in ICT with VQ Training I cannot recommend them highly enough. Due to my busy work schedule their courses were ideal for me because training while working meant I could would not miss out financially. All of the VQ Training team are very flexible, accommodating and have no problem with visiting were suited me, ie place of work. Their training is of a high standard and are always at the end of the phone if I needed advice. I genuinely feel like they cared about me, my training and help push my business forward.

I have been working with VQ Training on route to obtaining my Level 3. In this time I found the level of service and especially commitment extremely high throughout the course. I would have no problem in recommending VQ Training to any organisation who want to receive training to an extremely high standard.

The CSCS Card is going to be compulsory, probably for all sites. I needed my card for April 2015. There was a lot less work than I expected. It’s been made a lot easier because everyone is very helpful and knowledgeable. The online system is really good, you can log in when you want and it’s reliable.
