The qualifications are based on national standards at Levels 1 to 5 on the National Qualifications Framework. It is easy to view your progression, as each level requires a specific amount of work. The framework compares different types of qualifications in terms of the demands they place on learners.

How do they work?
The skills and knowledge you already have count towards your qualification. NVQs range from foundation Level 1 programmes to more advanced Level 4. They are divided into different units that reflect various aspects of a particular job and are achieved through both assessment and training. The assessments are usually carried out by observing you in the workplace and by asking you various questions to check your understanding of work related issues.
