What is an NVQ?
A National Vocational Qualification (NVQ) is a qualification that recognises the competence of a person in a work situation, giving people credit for what they do in their job role on a day to day basis, unlike traditional qualifications that rely on teaching and examinations.
Who should consider the NVQ route?
As the NVQ route is reliant upon the submission of evidence from a delegate's place of work, it is most appropriate for those who already have, or are in the process of gaining, practical experience as health and safety managers or in equivalent roles in managing health and safety at work.
