NVQ's are hands-on, work-based qualifications and are designed for people wanting to work in a particular industry. There are five levels: you can study for levels 1-3 from age 16 depending on your experience.
NVQs are usually done through work and / or at an FE college. You're assessed by carrying out tasks in a work environment, but may also have to do written work and exams. If you're doing an Apprenticeship you’ll also be working towards an NVQ.
