NVQ levels

NVQ levels are a way to categorize different levels of vocational qualifications in the UK, reflecting the complexity and independence involved in a job. They range from Level 1 (basic skills, like entry-level tasks) up to Level 5 (advanced skills and management). For example, a Level 2 (similar to GCSEs) might be a more skilled apprentice or technician role, while Level 4 or 5 could relate to higher management or specialist expertise. These levels help define what someone is qualified for and what skills they have achieved in their chosen field.
