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)Originally Posted by Tawi2
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
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.
