: NATIONAL VOCATIONAL QUALIFICATIONS (NVQs)

An NVQ (National Vocational Qualification) is a qualification, which assesses someone's competence (that skills, knowledge and understanding they have) within their work situation. NVQs are based on national occupational standards and the standards describe the level and breadth of performance that is expected from anyone who is working in the industry or sector which NVQ covers.

To achieve an NVQ there must be proof that a person has the skills, knowledge and understanding detailed in the NVQ units of competence. As an assessor you will judge, from evidence produced by the candidate, whether they have demonstrated the skills, knowledge and understanding to the necessary standard.

The nature of an NVQ means that most of the evidence will be gathered through a candidate's own work for by assessor observation.
