04The credits
The credits, and who awards them
Level 1 credits are regulated, and they are awarded by City & Guilds Limited rather than by Zavmo. They don’t vanish when a subscription ends or a website closes. They travel to any employer, and Zavmo keeps the map of what you have covered and what is next.
What you would be collecting
Application of Paint Materials to Vehicles Using Spray Gun TechniquesBasics of Vehicle Mechanical Electrical TrimBasics of vehicle body fittingCandidate projectCareer planning and making applicationsCommunity projectContributing to a teamEffective skills, qualities and attitudes for learning and work
Each one is a real unit registered against this qualification.
How you’d practise it
You don’t watch this. You do it.
You are not assessed on remembering this. You are assessed on applying it, analysing it, evaluating it and producing something. So that is what the practice is: projects, role play and your own live cases, with a tutor in the room.
The Coach · your practice partner Illustration The Coach Make the case from “Enterprise activity: producing products or services” to me in thirty seconds. I am the person who signs it off and I am already late.
You It would improve engagement and bring us in line with best practice.
The Coach Neither of those costs me anything to say no to. Open with the number that changes if I do nothing.
- Pitch it Evaluate
“Enterprise activity: producing products or services” gets practised as a pitch. You make the case out loud, Zavmo asks the question the room would ask, and you make it again.
- Bring your own plan Create
For “Candidate project” you bring the plan you are actually working on, not a case study. Zavmo pulls on the assumptions in it until the weak one shows.
- Draft the real one Create
You do “Managing personal finance” on a real document of your own. Zavmo works on the draft you have to send anyway, so the coursework and the job are the same piece of work.
- Lead it Apply
“Contributing to a team” is practised on the team you actually have. You talk through the call you are about to make, and Zavmo makes you say it the way you would say it to them.
