Quote:quote:How much will it cost?
Because this is a completely new initiative, we can only estimate the costs at present, based on the Cultural Heritage NVQs currently available. Colleges offering these qualifications charge candidates around ?1000 - ?1500 to cover registration and assessment fees and all supporting documentation. This is a lot of money and the IFA is currently exploring mechanisms for funding candidates, particularly through the Learning and Skills Council. We will also be encouraging employers to support the qualification by contributing towards the cost.
?1000 - ?1500 - thats quite a bit of cash for field archaeologists to shell out.
