it is a different qualification because of the governing body but in some instances equivilant but personally not as good because of the way in which it can't be obtained. Say for instance you was to apply for oz an indentured apprentice who would of gained C&G advanced craft and took a skills test is worth more than someone with a NVQ111. @pudove will know more on the differences

Sounds the same
 
Nvq level 3 in Plastering requires you to know all the designed plastering like fibrous etc u can upskill from a level 2 solid plastering to the level 3 but you must know how to do the design etc
 
And unless your employed by that kind of employer its really unusual for a normal plasterer to get that sort of job at same time he has to be assessed
 
Their aint really any difference it is basically the name of the qualification, they are both assessed and governed by city and guilds and the CITB... NVQ basically means national vocational qualification... just to show its recognised nationally
 
The advanced craft was proof that you had been trained in a college environment, completed some practical projects that somebody from the awarding body came to check and took and passed a written test which was sent away to be marked.
The NVQ is an assessment of the work you do at work and you have to answer some questions that are given to you which you can research and find the answers to at your leisure.
The advanced craft id's no longer recognised by the citb unless you have still got your indentured papers.
 
basically NVQ is...

pay a load of money and get some bloke with probably less experience than you fill a load of forms in ( dont worry he knows how to do them for you to pass ) and bosh.. you get the NVQ...
