SVQ and NVQs
SVQ and NVQs are work-based qualifications delivered within the workplace during normal working hours,  the candidate while carrying out their normal day to day working tasks provide proof of their competence to the assessor in line with the requirements of the qualification.

Modern Apprenticeships
Modern Apprenticeships are Nationally Recognised qualifications, consisting of NVQ/SVQ qualifications plus Core Skills and where appropriate a National Certificate (engineering disciplines only)

Delivery Method
Delivery Method - work based SVQ and NVQ qualifications are gained within the work place, there is no need to attend college, training centres etc. 

Our assessor will visit the learner at times and locations to suit the candidate and employer to review evidence generated by candidate as part of the assessment plan agreed between candidate and assessor during the last visit.

The assessor guides the candidate on the types of proof which would be appropriate for the qualification and provides positive feedback directly to the candidate on their progress.  The assessor will also observe the candidate working at agreed tasks to provide proof of their competence and safe working methods, at the end of the observation the assessor will provide positive feedback and guidance. 

The candidate under the guidance of the assessor is encouraged to fully participate in the assessment process and as confidence develops, make suggestions on suitable evidence to be generated as they work through the qualification.  Progress towards gaining the qualification is set in achievable sections or units, which are signed by the assessor as, achieved before moving onto the next unit.  

All assessments and reviews by assessors are performed to keep any disruption to the normal work down to an absolute minimum. There is not final exam; the qualification is based on assessments carried out by the assessor over the length of the qualification.

Certification

Certification of the qualification is applied for from the Awarding Body on completion of the qualification by the assessor.
