National Vocational Qualifications (NVQs)
Courses can be delivered at the College or within the workplace at convenient times.

Our assessors will visit the workplace and guide employees through the qualification and support them in achieving their vocational qualification, with any learning support needed. Work-Based assessment is a combination of attending the College and being assessed in the workplace.
