How Does the Assessment Work?
We deliver On Site Assessment & Training.
This means we will gather evidence as you work so you don’t have to take time off.As we’re not a college, we can offer a personalised approach and much shorter completion times. Our Assessors will tailor the assessment plan to suit your individual needs.
Your Assessor will visit you as required to gather evidence from you. This can either be done on site or somewhere convenient to you like a local coffee shop, or over the phone.
NVQs are based on competency so your Assessor will ask you to provide evidence of what you do in your job and your experience.
We will create a portfolio of your evidence and assess it against the unit standards.
Evidence that can be gathered includes:
- Observations
- Photographs
- Videos
- Witness Testimoniess
- Professional Discussions
- Work Drawings
Before you start the course, our Assessor will contact you to gather information for your suitability for the NVQ. We will arrange a day and time that fits in with your schedule.
At the start of the course, your Assessor will talk you through the entire process. They will decide, based on your individual needs, which ways of gathering evidence will work best
for you.
Evidence can be submitted to us electronically at any time of day and from anywhere in
the world. You can do this using the likes of WhatsApp or email.
Timescales
The time it takes to complete the NVQ varies from person to person. It will depend on your
availability and level of experience, skills and knowledge.
It usually takes 2 site visits to gather all the requirements. This will vary depending on your
abilities, commitment and motivation to work with your Assessor to complete your NVQ.
Contact us for more information on how long it will take you based on your experience.
