Experienced but no certificate? Get the NVQ for what you already do

Why this suits experienced workers

• No written exam. An NVQ is assessed by watching you work and by your portfolio of evidence.
• On your own site. Our assessor comes to you. See how a site visit works.
• Your past experience can count. If you have suitable evidence or earlier qualifications, you may finish sooner through Recognition of Prior Learning, where it applies.
