I know there are currently a fair few threads on this topic, but i am getting concerned!
I'm currently studying Level 2 VRQ at college in hair. No colleges in my area seem to be doing NVQs anymore, and apprentices are hard to come by, especially as at 22 i am slightly older than most.
I have heard that some students who have completed VRQ Level 3 are struggling to be employed. Are we at a disadvantage due to having an VRQ qualification rather that an NVQ?
I am starting to worry i will not be able to find employment after finishing level 3, and this course is faily costly for me as i do not receive any funding due to having a uni qualification. I have even heard that in order to find employment, some VRQ students are having to retrain at salons with an NVQ... this i do NOT want to have to do. Those of you who are trained professionals who have been working in the business... would you employ those who have VRQ qualifications?
