NVQ stands for national vocational qualification, waste of time if you want to be a licenced engineer, I used to live and work in BIM as a licenced engineer, if it is still accepted you guys used to get away with an american A and P licence and convert it to Bajan Licence, go and speak to some of the guys at BeeWee or ex Bajan Helicopter guys, I know for a fact that is how the Bajan helicopter guys got their licences

Apprenticeships are hard to get in the UK and even harder for non citizens , but a friend of my sons just got a place for a engineers course at Kingston , but as you said it is not cheap, speaking to the ex Bajan Heli guys is your best bet unless the rules have changed since I left......

Good luck and stick at it.....
