level 3 tech cert

I have worked in this industry for 10 years now and have my nvq 2, now i would like to do a HNC but before that i need to do my NVQ3, but the problem is that i have no chance of getting time off for day release, so my only hope is doing the Tech Cert at night.
So my questions are, Will doing a Level 3 Tech cert be enough to allow me to do HNC?
Is there anywhere in the NorthWest that will allow me to do Level 3 Tech Cert at night?

Thanks in advance

Danny

hello Dannycool..
If you have a good maths background and you don't really have to do level3 but its advisable.If you have a full nvq 2 you can go straight to hnc but you may have to go thru assessments
first.I know a some people will disagree but its a fact...Thank you good luck

Hi dannycool,

I don't know if they do it but try Training 2000 in Blackburn - talk to Tony Coe. He may be able to help.

thanks for the reply guys
Not so great with the maths side of things so it would probably be best to do my Level 3 as a base to build on.
im in the manchester area but i know mancat only do the tech cert as part of the nvq.

i also went through training 2000 with tony good team they have there.I nnow travel to solihull every saturday to do my level 3!!
