WHAT ARE NVQS?
National Vocational Qualifications (NVQs) are externally awarded qualifications, which confirm that individuals have demonstrated competence (to national benchmark standards) in an occupational area. The only way to achieve an NVQ is to prove that you work to the specified standards. This means that an approved assessor assesses your actual work activity.
NVQs are not tied to any specified training programme – you don’t achieve an NVQ by completing training – only by putting that training into practice.
Fletcher Consultancy currently assesses approx 500 candidates per year across a wide range of subjects. Our NVQ assessment is work based with no portfolios or bureaucracy.
We can help you develop your own assessors and verifiers, become an NVQ approved centre or achieve national accreditation for your own customised qualification.
WHAT IS INVOLVED?
It is a myth that people being assessed for NVQs have to prepare a hefty paper-based portfolio. This has been the practice by many providers in the past – because it puts the emphasis on the individual to collect and collate evidence of work performance to show to an assessor. The only requirement for achieving an NVQ is a record of evidence and a record of assessment by an approved assessor.
