Jo I have done NVQ level 3 D32/33 and the A1 asseeors course. Now my company want me to do a level 1!! You will find it time consuming doing the assessors course just like the students do when they are taking and NVQ. I'm not happy with it and my advice to anyone in any job is to go for a different qualification. Those of you who are looking to go down this route of NVQ. All the best and good look.
