National Vocational Qualifications

National Vocational Qualifications (NVQs) are recognized credentials in the UK that demonstrate an individual's skills and knowledge in specific job roles. They are based on real-world work experience and focus on practical abilities rather than theoretical knowledge. Candidates are assessed through practical tasks, observations, and portfolios of evidence, showing their competence in their field. NVQs are available at various levels, reflecting higher complexity and responsibility. Employers value these qualifications as they confirm that an individual can perform the tasks required in a particular occupation, enhancing career prospects and professional development.
