NVQ stands for National Vocational Qualification.
A vocational qualification is one where assessment is related to work. Candidates will be assessed on aspects of their work during normal day to day routines and tasks. The assessor will compare the candidate’s performance against set standards and this will assist in determining whether they are competent in their work.
