NVQs

An NVQ provides you with work-based training and an opportunity to demonstrate competency through observation of practice

What is a National Vocational Qualification (NVQ)?

An NVQ is a work-based qualification that recognises the skills and knowledge a person needs to do a job. They give people the opportunity to work, reach a required level of skill and gain a qualification that is nationally recognised.

These work-based qualifications combine theoretical knowledge with practical skill developments, providing learners with the appropriate competence and skills to progress in their role and reach higher levels of performance.
