Okay, thanks for clearing that up for me.
Thanks. Fancy moving to Bristol? Ha. Still no luck, my worry is now I am getting too old as I'm 20 in 4 weeks and a 20 year old will struggle to...
Hi Matt. Is a QCF Level 2 in Floorcovering the same as the NVQ as I heard the NVQ has had a change and is now classed as a QCF? Just though i'd...
