What is an NVQ?
The NVQ (National Vocational Qualification) is a work-based qualification that recognizes the skills and knowledge a person needs to perform a job effectively. NVQs are based on national occupational standards and are available in a wide range of sectors.

How NVQ assessment works
Candidates normally build evidence from their work activities against the requirements of their chosen qualification. An assessor reviews that evidence and discusses the process, timescale and suitability with the candidate.
Course availability, eligibility, assessment requirements and any card application are confirmed separately for each learner.
