S/NVQ

Vocational Qualifications are occupation based qualifications which are developed using the National Occupational Standards (NOS). They are work-related, competency based qualifications which are designed specifically to define specific occupations.

Vocational Qualifications are better known as NVQs in England, Wales and Northern Ireland and SVQs in Scotland.

Widely recognised by employers, S/NVQs are often used as the main focus of training. S/NVQs demonstrate that an employee has the skills and knowledge necessary to perform competently and successfully. The courses are taught partly in the workplace and partly in college or in an approved training centre. Assessed entirely in the workplace, employees are required to develop a portfolio of evidence that shows them carrying out work activities to an S/NVQ standard.

The Business & Administration S/NVQ is one of the most popular qualifications and is opted for by individuals working in administration based roles who would like to develop their work related skills, knowledge and understanding. There are no age limits and no special entry requirements. However it is essential that a candidate is in work to be able to take an S/NVQ.

Why choose a Business & Administration S/NVQ?

Business & Administration skills are essential to many occupations. Employers recognise the importance of these skills and rate them as some of the most difficult to recruit for.
