NVQs in the Workplace
NVQ stands for National Vocational Qualification. It is a 'competence-based' qualification: this means you learn practical, work-related tasks designed to help you develop the skills and knowledge to do a job effectively.
Taking an NVQ could be appropriate if you already have skills and want to improve them, or if you are starting from scratch.
