Studying for an NVQ is a great way to expand your knowledge – without having to stick to a schedule. Whether you’re still at school or you’re already in a job, an NVQ provides all the practical skills and knowledge which you need to start your new career and break into your chosen industry.
What is an NVQ?
An NVQ (National Vocational Qualification) is a site based way of learning – which is carried out at a college, school, or workplace.
Each NVQ level involves a range of tasks and activities that are designed to test you on your ability to do a job effectively.
You may start out by applying your knowledge to basic tasks, and progress by improving your skills to the next levels.
How to get NVQ?
National Vocational Qualification can be obtained through training and drills which are conducted under the supervision of an examiner. Candidates must prove that they are competent to meet NVQ standards. After completing the training, the examiner (assessor) certifies that the candidate has the necessary knowledge, understanding and practical experience, ensuring the proper performance of tasks in the workplace.
The assessor usually helps candidates approaching NVQ:
Determine the skills you already have
Set the level and standards to be achieved
Analyze what you will need to learn
Select and establish activities that will achieve the required skills
It is possible to make an appointment with your employer or supervisor to perform specific tasks that will allow you to obtain the appropriate level of skills.
Candidates compare the results of their work with existing standards, observe what they have already achieved and what else they have to do to achieve skill level required for an NVQ. This system is suitable for candidates who already possess certain skills and need to improve them, as well as for those who start from scratch.
