Vetassess - what makes them tick?
Hi all,
I've just heard from my agent, and he has put the feelers out with Vetasess about whether or not they are likely to pass me on my qualifications.
In a nutshell, I have an NVQ level 4, which my governing body recognise as a degree, but Vetassess may not.
As he didn't actually show Vetassess my CV, and therefore they are unaware of other courses, depth of experience etc, would you think it's worthwhile still putting an application in?
What exactly do they look at? I need a degree for my job type (according to the visa), so will Vetassess just strike me off straight away, or will they consider other factors such as experience etc?
My agent was only giving me his informed opinion, of course, he wasn't saying outright that they would fail me, but he didn't want me to spend money only to find out that they will.
I just wondered what peoples experiences are of Vetassess........?

Re: Vetassess - what makes them tick?
Is the vetassess application very expensive? Because putting the application might be only way to know for sure whether you will pass.
What governing body are you referring to? What occupation? if you can add these details you might get some better responses.
To me, NVQ4 does not sound like it is same as degree, aren't they just completely different things? How long does it take to get NVQ4?

It took me best part of 2 years to get this qualification, but it couldn't be done without the NVQ3, which took me just over a year to gain.

Re: Vetassess - what makes them tick?
Hi, I have an NVQ4 in Occupational Safety and Health. I am a graduate member of IOSH (the governing body). You can only achieve a graduate status if you have the equivalent of a degree in H&S. I've been a graduate for 2 years, and passed the NVQ4 in 2009.
It took me best part of 2 years to get this qualification, but it couldn't be done without the NVQ3, which took me just over a year to gain.
