NVQ Diploma
You will be enrolled onto the NVQ once your Classroom Diploma has been fully achieved and we confirm that you are still working in the industry at the correct level.
An NVQ is a work-based qualification that assesses you and is often referred to as a ‘Performance’ qualification. In other words, this is to assess your performance in the industry and to validate that you have the correct knowledge to perform the tasks at hand.
When completing your NVQ with us you will allocated an assessor who will guide you in collecting your evidence and answering the necessary question required to prove your knowledge and competency against the standards of the NVQ.
This is all done using an ePortfolio called OneFile.
