What is the size of the door what is the size of the load delivered how many people to take delivery what equipment will you need write a risk assesment for the delivery..........and on and on

[Thomas-the-Terrano2]

was going to say willow is it for an nvq, did mine few weeks back on assessors laptop
more a case of just getting as far as you can as they get harder and i think after about
3 or 4 wrong on trot quiz chucks you out. My nvq in customer service is level2, but
passed at manager level 3 the maths and english. maths ok but english always been
more of a struggle. when went to college/poly took 3 attempts to get o level pass even
though go plenty of other o's and and an a level in computing. ended up paying a private
tutor to get my english then only scrapped a pass at c!

Please don't anybody take this the wrong way. Isn't the way they have all these courses basically so they can lower general education standards but still get the job done. Similar to training animals,repeat,repeat over and over until you forget why you do things a particular way and just do it because the book says so? Turning us all into robots without the capacity for individual thought processes. I did a safe pass course a couple of years ago and the guy doing the course said that even kettles used on building sites need to be tested every six months to make sure they are still safe to use, also applies to fridges ,cookers etc. Absolutely daft. Willow you are dead right ,the world has gone mad. Whatever happened to people being able to use their own common sense? Isn't that how we progress, the daft ones get killed and the rest of us see the mistake made and say ,"sod that for a lark" and learn from it. At least, I think that is how it is supposed to work but now the daft ones follow the rules and breed more daft ones. I think we are doomed!!! Sorry for the rant, annoyed at yet another day without pay.

A lot of what they are testing us on does not relate to the job just how you do on paper. I thought nvq type courses were ment to relate to the job:nenau:nenau
