    Are you certain its 40 hours pinay?My brother-in-law in the past few years has paid for courses for several of his nieces to study here(and work in his restaurant)they were all specifically told 20 hours



    Sometimes you're flush and sometimes you're bust, and when you're up, it's never as good as it seems, and when you're down, you never think you'll be up again. But life goes on.
    The beauty of a woman is not in the clothes she wears, the figure that she carries, or the way she combs her hair. The beauty of a woman is seen in her eyes, because that is the doorway to her heart, the place where love resides. True beauty in a woman is reflected in her soul. It's the passion that she shows to the outside world.

    student visa, you can only work 20hrs a week in term time, nvq was in the past mostly a work placement (probably paid) but recently the rules were changed so you have to spend half the time in class room ( the gov knows the nvq was being abused as a type of work permit)

    but work paid or unpaid is work, and your right it should be only 20hrs week, but seems to be a bit of confusion as whether your time on your placement is counted.

    Yeah,thats more in keeping with what I observed in the restaurant(even though they all did at least twice that amount of hours,but only because they were family and wanted money for a car)most employers nowadays are aware of the tightening restrictions

    i'm sure many on an nvq in the past did a 40 hr wk paid placement, then also did the 20 hrs a week term time their entitled to work (so doing 60hrs awk !). but now for nvq you have to spend half the time in a class room, and i would have thought if your doing a placement and get paid or not you shouldn't be able also able to work for 20hrs a week outside your palcement, but seems a grey area to me
