Awards after the City & Guilds 3666 Qualification
Following your City and Guilds 3666 qualification Lucid can offer you a range of more advanced qualification in the testing or design and planning of fibre optic and copper communications networks. Wherever possible we provide recognised qualifications from licensed awarding bodies. These are not just our own certificates, although we do find that our own course attendance certificates are normally well-respected within the industry too.
When comparing pricing please ensure that the cost quoted to you includes everything you expect. We have come accross some training providers offering City and Guilds 3666 training courses and then asking for more money if you want to be enroled to gain the qualification itself. We believe this is sharp practice to make the look good value, but technically they have only promised you the City and Guilds 3666 training and not the enrolment, assessments and certificates.
