NVQ stands for National Vocational Qualification. A ‘competence-based’ qualification, you will learn practical, work-related tasks designed to help you develop the skills and knowledge to do a job effectively.

NVQs are based on national standards for various occupations. The standards say what a competent person in a job could be expected to do. As you progress through the course, you compare your skills and knowledge with these standards as you learn,
so you can see what you need to do to meet them.

NVQs are available to both adults and young people. You can take NVQs if:

you are employed,
you are studying at college and have a part-time job or access to a work placement
