The National Vocational Qualification (NVQ) is a work-based qualification that demonstrates competence in a particular occupation or trade. It is a nationally recognized qualification that is awarded by an awarding body, such as City & Guilds, Edexcel, or Pearson.
NVQs are designed to assess a learner’s skills and knowledge in a real-world work environment. They are typically assessed through a combination of practical assessments, such as observation of the learner at work, and written assessments, such as tests and assignments. NVQs are available at different levels, from Level 1 to Level 5, and can be used to progress in a career or to gain a new qualification.
