WHAT IS AN NVQ?
An NVQ is a work-based qualification that recognises the skills and knowledge a person needs to do a job. The candidate needs to demonstrate and prove their competency in their chosen role or career path.
Candidates need to demonstrate that they have the suitable skills, knowledge and understanding to carry out the tasks associated with their job role. These can be individually and as part of a team.
There are no specific entry requirements, you just need to be doing the role so that a portfolio can be put together to show your ability.
An NVQ can be completed at your own pace as there is no set time limit on their completion.

HOW ARE THEY ASSESSED?
NVQs are competency-based and the candidate produces evidence of what they do in their work situation. This is assessed in your workplace against the relevant occupational standard by our dedicated teams of Assessors via:
A portfolio – This contains evidence of the tasks, duties and achievements carried out at work. Candidates must be able to demonstrate their skills are current and prove their competency.
Observation – Assessors will watch to make sure that candidates are capable of completing the tasks and duties involved in their role.
Our team of Worked Based Learning Assessors are here to support candidates through their every step of their NVQ journey.
