for employment which have been determined by the industry. These competences are known as national standards.

Course Assessment:
Assessments will take place at mutually agreed times to determine and confirm a candidate's progress and competence set against the national standards. This is achieved by two main methods: -
Formal observation in the workplace.
Examining other evidence compiled within candidate's portfolio e.g. witness statements, previous training received, reports and certificates of achievement.
On successful completion of a framework each candidate will be issued with certificates for their respective NVQ achieved.
Completion of the Technical Certificate Level 2 End Tests relating to specific modules (detailed in the Technical Certificate) will need to be achieved as either a home study programme or supported learning at our Centre to enable certification of the NVQ.
