ATHE as well yea?

ATHE is an awarding body like TQUK, not a qualification. They (like TQUK) also have a Level 3 diploma course being sold on Reed. See the link for details and cost; [url] https://www.reed.co.uk/courses/athe-level-3-diploma-in-health-and-social-care-rqf/285680[/url]

Hello. Pls csn you help with the appropriate courses/ training that is equivalent.
Thank you in advance

There are several similar Diploma 3 courses with exactly the same qualification, the only difference is which school/course provider you paid your fees to. Just like a Bsc degree gotten from ABU and UNILAG are the same thing. (at least they are supposed to be).

The courses I know and that I can assure anyone of are these below. They are regulated/accredited qualifications-

1. TQUK Level 3 Diploma in Healthcare Support (RQF)
2. TQUK Level 3 Diploma in Healthcare Support Services (RQF)

Below are links to different companies offering these same courses. All of them are offering the same courses. Your certificate will be the same thing.....but the course fees are different, all of them charge whatever they like. View all the courses' websites, read and decide for yourself. Read the courses description. I have done all these and I recommended the one I know was the best (you can read my earlier post).


[url]https://www.reed.co.uk/courses/tquk-level-3-diploma-in-healthcare-support-rqf/329217#/courses/?keywords=tquk%20Level%203%20Diploma%20in%20Health%20and%20Social%20Care[/url] (TQUK, Reed and Kingston College) - £749.00

https://iigs-group.com/ (TQUK, Apex Leaning and IIGS) - £350.00

[url]https://www.reed.co.uk/courses/tquk-level-3-diploma-in-healthcare-support-rqf/311840#/courses/?keywords=tquk%20Level%203%20Diploma%20in%20Health%20and%20Social%20Care[/url] (TQUK, Reed and Apex Learning) - £549.00

https://coralandreed.com/product/nvq-level-3-diploma-adult-social-care/ (Coral & Reed and Qualifi) - £825.00

All the courses are online and self-paced which is an advantage.

Price is not an indication of quality from what I found out. All of the above are good so feel free to choose any. Pls note though that for some courses you will still have to pay for your certificate......

Many things to look out for. Though the IIGS man promised to come and explain the intricacies to us on nairaland; I don't know why he hasn't come. I hope it makes some sense to you?

You can DM if you still need more clarification.

Alright, thanks so much for your response.

Does my partner need to do tuberculosis test and police clearance? I couldn't find that in the website.

Also, I have a uk masters can I use that for proof of English, instead of IELTS UKVI?

Does my partner need to do tuberculosis test and police clearance? I couldn't find that in the website. ........ Yes, if you have been outside the UK for 6 months.

Also, I have a uk masters can I use that for proof of English, instead of IELTS UKVI? ......I think so....but try and confirm because the band Level you are going in for also matters.

Hello everyone,
I have few questions about including my husband as dependant.
I got an offer and my employer is about to issue me the CoS. However, they mentioned that I would be given accommodation for 2 months while undergoing training.

If I include my husband now during my application, is it compulsory he travels with me? Or can he wait till I'm settled and I have gotten my own place, before he comes over?

It's not compulsory he travels with you. You should come here first, prepare the ground and invite them over....but take note of the expiration of the initial visa.

All the things you have mentioned are personal bias and culture shock. As if people don't insult themselves in Nigeria and bosses don't abuse their employees. It's not every home or old people that will spit and insult you abeg.

My sister, Aprokodaugther is right. All scenarios outlined are true. It's a rewarding job emotionally but it is very difficult (most times) and not easy. Most are doing it here because its abundant and for the ease of entrance into the profession.

Hello everyone, please for those that have done their Ecctis verification, was your transcripts sent directly to Ecctis from your school, or did you just upload a student's copy of the transcripts.... because my school does not send transcripts to unofficial email addresses or to the applicants. Please how did you go about yours?

Photocopies of degree certificates (you can do BSc and Masters for same price), transcripts and letter that your course was taught in English are all you need. You will need to upload all these on the website. I don't think your schol is allowed to send though.

Hello All

Please there's this talk of Nigeria being on the Red list and as such recruiting agencies won't be considering applications from Nigerians or countries on the Red list.

Can anyone confirm?

You Must apply directly, this is only way allowed. Recruiters and companies even the NHS must not actively recruit from or even advertised in red list countries.

Good morning my brother please I want to ask if you also know about skilled visa for people that has interest in farm work, that is the farm worker because I’m hearing that someone can also look for big farms that will give COS to apply for skilled visa so I don’t know if there is anything like that and how to apply

Thanks �

Yes there is a farm worker visa (poultry experience needed for some) but its temporary and it is (though they won't say so directly) targeted towards European countries. It is also physical work, the type we call labourer work. You also need to leave at the expiry of your visa which I think its about 6 months and family members not allowed.

I spoke with IIGS at length this morning and the contact explain more details to me and I also begged him to come on this platform to explain to us all, IIGS is in partnership with APEX Learning and truly if you guys go the IIGS website you will see that at the point of buying this course materials the website will redirect you to APEX Learning website add the CUPON and you will get a discount from £900+ to £350 or £399 depending on the course you picked and also he said he will organize a zoom meeting for us all to join handbags to have a better understanding of the courses wile are picking, also he said the discount only going to last for days so how fast you are depends on you. The courses are registered and is good to push this, go to the website call the numbers and chat with them on WhatsApp.
Also he said the job interview is the most important part of this which he said he will drop some stuffs for us all to see and know what to say during the interview.

Call them yourselves have better understanding on your own

DON’T SLEEP ON IT...�

IIGS (Itu Integrated Global Services) as shown in their website (iigs-group.com) is NOT a registered company in the uk (you can search company house to confirm) rather it is a company registered in Abuja Nigeria. It is a Nigerian owned company!

At least you confirmed that it is a registered company and registered in our own Abuja Nigeria not Casablanca or did the company claimed registration in UK or USA? Maybe it would be more authentic if na India and Lebanese companies abi? I didn't know that registered Nigerian companies are not allowed to sell online again.

Brilliant observation and research carried out by Prosperity4All. Everybody, please take note and be properly guided!shockedshockedshocked

You guys should stop this!

Brilliant observation indeed! TQUK is the awarding body just like ATHE and Highland are awarding bodies that LPTC uses and buy courses to sell from.

Everyone including LPTC, Kope Medics, Apex Learning(IIGS), etc are all resellers. All the REGULATED courses are not theirs. Just like Apex Learning is partnering with IIGS Ltd KOPE-MEDICS and REGO ET’ EL are in collaboration to do same thing.

Apex Learning buy their own courses from TQUK; the UK government buy the same course from TQUK and I gave a link for people to confirm the course authenticity. I never said that the government buy from IIGS. So you people should stop twisting my words. IIGS is working with Apex Learning on this and everyone can get these courses cheaper if you go through IIGS website and use their coupon codes. Anyone that doesn't want a discount should buy his own courses from other sources or even buy directly from Apex Learning. IIGS negotiated a partnership Apex Learning UK to bring the courses cheaper to Nigerians. What is wrong with that?

You have been helping people here Uzland so do your due diligence and don't let anyone with wrong motives drag your name in mud.

If the courses are fake please say so with proof. Anyone can write Apex Learning for confirmation and post the response here biko.

This is why I took my time to check the companies before posting.

You came here a few days ago de-marketing LPTC (registered since 2014) and Kope Medics in favour a a non existing Company whose website was probably being retouced. In all honesty, which school will you prefer to send your ward, one that is 7 years old with some track record, or one that is less than a year and No history. shocked


I don't really get your point. You are showing domain name registration. What does that have to do with whether the courses are legitimate or not?

Did you call Apex Learning UK and they disown IIGS or they told you the coupon codes to be used on Apex Learning website are fakes?

If you don't understand how this things work you can ask for explanation.

Or is the low price they are offering Nigerians a problem sir?

I just got a message from them which goes;

Order Confirmation

Great news!

We have received your application and the documents you have uploaded will be reviewed by our Evaluations Team within 10 working days (sooner for Fast Track services).

I checked my accounts and I've not been debited.

Is the payment going to be made after 10 days?
Could it be the reason why the payment is not going through?

Who has made this payment should kindly help out?

The debit should go immediately. Refresh your account and see if you have any unclear transactions.

Please send them same message telling them what you noticed. So just incase the thing reversed and they didn't get the money they will know you have informed aforehand and no be fraud.

LPTC is charging 350k while Kope Medics is charging 600k can anyone advice if there are differences in their certificates.

Kope Medics stated their certificate is from UK awarding board but not stated but LPTC awarding body is ATHE also in the UK.

It's not about the price. Just make sure any course you want to do is accredited and acceptable by the organisation you are sending it to shikena! Either It's one naira or two million e no matter. Once its not acceptable it's a waste of money and precious time.

What I discovered in my conversation with the course people is that most of these companies deliver same course, brand them and put thier own prices on it. So because a course is more expensive doesn't make it better and vice versa.

Sorry for the delay o. Hustling things....

So this is the link: https://iigs-group.com/

I spoke with Apex Learning UK and they confirm they are partnering with IIGS ltd to deliver the courses. I also spoke to IIGS. It is authentic. Go to IIGS website and get the coupon to buy at the discount. The British government is even buying the course for their citizens in the Skill for Life program; so the course should be good then. (https://www.qualifications.education.gov.uk/Qualification/60324946). I asked the IIGS people to join nairaland so they can answer questions directly here. I don’t know if they will sha o.

It's £349 with coupon code on IIGS website or if paying in naira its =N=279,000.00. It is more expensive without the code.

I copied this from their website:

5. The courses are accredited by TQUK, one of the leading Awarding Organisations in the UK. TQUK is recognised by the Office of Qualifications and Examinations Regulation (Ofqual) in England, CCEA Regulation in Northern Ireland, and Qualifications Wales.

Click here to confirm – https://register.ofqual.gov.uk/Detail/Index/40756?category=qualifications

Click here to confirm - https://register.ofqual.gov.uk/Detail/Index/40756?category=qualifications

6. Candidates can apply for jobs abroad once they have completed this diploma.

7. The TQUK Level 3 Diploma in Healthcare Support (RQF) and TQUK Level 3 Diploma in Healthcare Support Services (RQF) will enable you to utilise your gained expertise in a broad range of promising career opportunities, such as:

• Senior Healthcare Support Worker

• Maternity Support Worker

• Children and Young People Support Worker

• Mental Health Support Worker

• Enablement Worker

• Theatre Support Worker

• Adult Nursing Support Professional

• Therapy Support Worker

• Senior Healthcare Assistant

• Rehabilitation Assistant

So that's it o my people. And for those that are asking.....It is worth coming here as a worker. The student route is good if you cannot get the tier 2 visa but coming directly to work is sweeter. So goodluck guys!
