NATIONAL VOCATIONAL QUALIFICATIONS (NVQ)
National Vocational Qualifications (NVQ) were work-based awards in England, Wales and Northern Ireland that are achieved through assessment and training. The regulatory framework supporting NVQs was withdrawn in 2015 and replaced by the Regulated Qualifications Framework (RQF), although the term “NVQ” may be used in RQF qualifications if they “are based on recognized occupational standards, work-based and/or simulated work-based assessment and where they confer occupational competence”.To achieve an NVQ Certificate, candidates had to prove that they had the ability (competence) to carry out their job to the required standard.
