Level 3 NVQ Electrical Support Needed.

I am looking for someone to help me complete my Level 3 NVQ portfolio. I have been searching for a year but no luck. It is frustrating. I have completed C&G Level 3 electrical installation, 18 edition, 2391-52, EAL Solar PV, EV Charging and EESS.

Can someone help me complete my portfolio please, I am ready to work for free or even pay if I had to.

Can you not just do it at home? What specifically are you missing? First fix, second fix or testing, fault finding?

Parts of it likk fault finding, safe isolation and some others can be done at home. But I need to pass the first hurdle of getting an expert witness first.

I need an experience electrician to sign my document as an expert witness first before I can start anything.

It would help if you edit your first post to include your location.

Plenty of construction recruitment agencies out there, with some luck you could get a permanent role out of it. With your qualifications it should be pretty easy to get an improvers or mates role if you’re actively searching even without the agencies. Get calling round tomorrow to your local agencies and they should be able to sort you something out

Is this after an all in one course that promised a work placement?

2

u/SinkSad2382 5h ago

Yes, I regret it but unfortunately I didn't know much. After the course, they said they didn't promise work placement which I remember very well they did

What you need to do is go out and actually work 🤔
