    Should i do this free qualification?
    I stumbled upon this level 2 Qualification (NVQ i think) in Business & Administration. Im currently doing a Bsc Computer Science, Im wondering is this worth it. Since an A-Level is considered level 3, so i have already more qualifications than im studying for. Is it worth it?

    I think you'd be wasting your time to be honest. If you're interested in business and you're already an undergrad you'd be better off buying a book.

    What have you got to lose? If it's all free I'd just sign up for it, if later on you feel it's really not for you can always drop out.. can't go wrong really!

    With vision2learn? Don't bother. It's far too basic to ever be of any use.

    Actual questions:


    Is the following statement true or false?

    “If there is a serious health and safety hazard you should report it to an appropriate manager immediately.”

    A. True

    B. False


    Select one option to complete this sentence:

    "Being honest in the workplace ________________________________ ."

    A. Is the behaviour of a loser

    B. Encourages suspicion

    C. Encourages good working relationships

    If it is with v2l then you have to complete the qualification or they charge you a fee of around £100.

    Sorry for the late reply guys,

    yeah it is Vision 2 Learn, and there seems to be a lot of negatove opinion on the web regarding the company. So il be steering clear of it!

    Why would you want to do a GCSE level course when you are doing a degree? Anyone interviewing you for a post in the future will not give a toss about what you have at level 2.
