An NVQ (National Vocational Qualification) is a competence-based assessment of the skills, knowledge, and experience you already have. It’s designed for professionals who have learned ‘on the job’ over years and are established in their role but lack formal recognition of their skills. NVQs prove to an assessor that you carry out your job safely, effectively, and in line with industry standards.
No. NVQs don’t involve exams or trick questions. They’re designed for practical people who have developed their skills in a real working environment. The only test required is the CITB Health Safety and Environment test, which is needed for your CSCS card application after completing the NVQ.

The timeframe largely depends on your motivation. We provide support for 12 months, but qualifications are typically achievable within 1-3 months.
