We’ve had a lot of requests from people asking where they can carry out their NVQ training and this is something that we will be working on soon. Of course, you need to already be working in a relevant position to start NVQ courses so, geographically speaking, you’ll probably want to find a college near to your work place to make life a bit easier for you. There is also the possibility of carrying out some of the study portion of your NVQ course in the comfort of your own home using an on-line study provider. We’ll also try and find as many of these as we can and get them listed up here too.

Add your College

If you represent a college or other further education institute, offer NVQ courses and would like to add your establishment to our site, please either leave a comment on this post or use the ‘Contact Us’ page to drop us a line. If we start to build up a good looking list then we’ll try and create a more directory style listing for ease of search.

So, please bear with us and we’ll hopefully get a few places added here soon!

The NVQ stands for National Vocational Qualification. This is based on the passing of exams and standards set by the qualifications in order to qualify for certain professions. How well you meet the requirements of the NVQ training will have a direct influence on how well you pass the exams and standards that are needed. NVQ training can be provided for all the positions that require vocational training.

The purpose of NVQ training goes beyond simply passing the exams, it is to provide you with the practical experience as well as the academic requirement to qualify for different types of professional positions on the marketplace. Solid NVQ training means that you’ll get everything you need and nothing that you do not, so you can focus your efforts on passing the exams and getting the full training you need. A solid team of experts with full backgrounds in their respective professions will provide the guidance and understanding needed to help get the most out of the training.

During your training, you may have access to grants that will help you with your finances. This can be very important for those who otherwise cannot pay for the training themselves. Be sure that you cover all the possibilities as you don’t want to miss out on financial aid that otherwise can assist you during this time.  The NVQ training center will help organize all of your paperwork and call to your attention any aspect that needs addressing so you will not be surprised by something later that could have been worked out sooner.

The NVQ courses have shown to be highly effective in training for the specific aspects of these professional positions beyond the normal preparation needed for passing the exams, but as to give the students full understanding of what is required by their work and enter it with a much greater sense of familiarity rather than ignorance.

Typical NVQ training courses include many different fields:

• Business Administration
• Cleaning & Support Services
• Customer Service
• Distribution
• Health & Social Care
• Warehouse and Storage

These are some of the general areas covered by NVQ training, the levels of each can advance from L1 through L5 depending on the profession chosen and the requirements involved. For those wishing to pursue a career covered under NVQ, you will want to fully check out the course requirements and whatever background education that you have which may apply to the position in question.

Also, NVQ uses the latest advances to keep up with each profession so you are not training with out of date materials. This is very important as antiquated training is basically the same as inadequate training. For all concerned, the latest training methods, techniques and equipment is used.

For graduates, they can expect to be more productive, more fully aware of their responsibilities and enjoy their chosen career even more, getting greater job fulfillment and a more directed effort at improving what they are doing and advancing in their work.
