Frequently Asked Questions
Is it all theory?
Many people are put off learning due to the traditional old-style qualifications, where theory used to be more important than practice. They have memories of sitting behind a desk for hours having to take written exams to prove what they knew.
NVQs change this idea by making practice as important as theory. They are about doing a job to agreed standard and not just passing exams. In line with this you have the opportunity to learn while you work.
NVQs give you the opportunity to prove yourself against the National Standards; this is done by carrying out tasks at work, completing coursework and projects and taking part in discussions. If you already have the relevant skills and knowledge, these can count towards your qualification.
