NVQs are qualifications that are usually completed in a realistic working environment.
One of the benefits of an NVQ is that the student can prove their competency through demonstration and assessment.
Level 2 NVQs are equivalent to 4-5 GCSE grades.
Level 3 NVQs are equivalent to 2 A levels.
A key part of your course will include proving that you can do certain work-related tasks.
During the course, you will be assessed through your portfolio, where you build evidence of the work you have done, and by observation, where an assessor watches you work and checks that you can perform the necessary tasks.
