National Vocational Qualification (NVQ)

A National Vocational Qualification (NVQ) is a work-based certification that confirms an individual has the skills and knowledge needed to perform specific job tasks effectively. Achieved through practical assessments in the workplace, NVQs focus on real-world competence rather than exams, allowing learners to demonstrate their abilities in real job scenarios. They are designed to align with industry standards, helping both employers and employees ensure that skills meet professional requirements and support career development across various sectors.
