NVQs

NVQs (National Vocational Qualifications) recognise your competence in specified areas of your work – that is, your ability and skill in actually doing the tasks required.

This is demonstrated through evidence that you provide and this is supported by observations from someone who assesses you in your place of work.

Your evidence also has to show that you understand why you go about the activities in the way you do and that you have a level of underpinning knowledge that supports you to deliver good competent work.

NVQs can include a taught programme to help provide and develop that underpinning knowledge.
