NVQ Health and Social Care

Definition: NVQs are work-related, competence based qualifications. NVQs reflect the skills and knowledge needed to do a job effectively NVQs represent national standards recognized by employers throughout the country. If you have a National Vocational Qualification (NVQ) it shows that you can do the work for which it has been awarded to national standards. It means you are competent in this kind of work.

NVQs are qualifications for work and show you can actually do a job, and not simply that you know how to do it in theory.

They are made up of units which describe the skills and knowledge needed to do a job effectively.

Who are NVQ's designed for?
NVQs are available to anyone at any age or stage of their career - and there are no entry qualifications. NVQs are flexible and accessible - within reasonable limits, you can decide the pace, place and way in which you learn. Most people working towards an NVQ are in work but they are available to others through a number of initiatives.

Benefits for Individuals
NVQs can help you prepare for work or help your career development. NVQs are achieved through the demonstration of skills. Getting an NVQ shows you can do a job to national standards and have the up-to-date skills employers are looking for. In terms of work, a qualification which proves you can do a job competently is a valuable possession.

With NVQs the practice is as important as the theory - they show what you can do as well as what you know. NVQs are therefore much more than courses. You don't have to sit through hours, days, weeks or even years of a course, and there are no exams at the end. NVQs are about putting learning into practice.

This doesn't mean that you can't take courses to achieve an NVQ. Another benefit is that NVQs are flexible - you can do an NVQ as part of your normal job, work towards one at college or through open learning and private study, or a combination of these.

There are virtually no limits with NVQs - no time limits (although an NVQ gained over a period of years, for example, would bring the currency of competence into question), no age limits and no special entry requirements.

NVQ in care includes:

  • Registration with awarding body
  • Basic skills assessment
  • Induction Direct access to assessor
  • Assessor visits to workplace
  • Delivery of underpinning knowledge where agreed
  • Awarding Body Certification
