All about the Health and Social Care NVQ?

July 19th, 2010

NVQ stands for ‘National Vocational Qualification’. The NVQ is a work-related qualification in the UK which has been designed to recognise peoiple’s abilities in their jobs. There are many types of NVQ in all sorts of subjects, including the Health & Social Care National Vocational Qualification.

Each NVQ reflects the skills and knowledge you need to do a particular job effectively. A Health & Social Care National Vocational Qualification is based on national standards that describe what you are expected to be able to do at work. NVQs can be taken by working people, or by school or college students with a work placement or part-time job. There are no particular entry requirements or age limits – and you don’t have to complete an NVQ in a set time period.

How do you get a Health and Social Care NVQ?

You can gain a Health & Social Care NVQ through a mixture of training and assessment. With the help of an assessor, you identify what you can already do, agree what level you’re aiming for, and work out what you need to learn to get there – and how best to learn it.

Each NVQ is made up of units or levels, which you take one at a time. You are usually assessed by someone observing you at work and asking you questions. You also collect evidence that shows you are competent to meet the relevant NVQ standards.
