I'm moving up in the world!!! 
I now have a Engineering Apprenticeship where i'm doing an Advanced apprenticeship NVQ level 3 in maintence and an HNC in ELectrical/Electronic Engineering 
Also still work p/time at Debenhams selling curtains on the saturdays lol
smitty, you do the same thing as me, thought im on the level 4 NVQ ( i think, the work based learning one? not the one you can do at college/training provider ect.) and doing the same HNC as you

what lectures do you do in your HNC and what uni is it ran by? newcastle?
