Hi everyone. My name is Richard, 24 years of age and from East Mids.

I am wanting to enter the AC and refrigeration industry and I am enquiring as to the best way to do this. The way I believe it to be is, I can go to college and study NVQ 2 followed by NVQ 3. Or the other option seems to be BTEC level 3 distant learning course.

Would I still need to do an NVQ level 2 if I gained the BTEC qualification? If someone can simplify for me the best thing to do to become qualified that would be much appreciated.

Thanks for reading.
