News & Insights

NVQ FAQs

What is an NVQ?

An NVQ (National Vocational Qualification) is a work-based qualification that assesses your competence in a real job role. You complete it using evidence from your day-to-day responsibilities, not exams or classroom learning.

What support will I receive during my NVQ?

You’ll be supported by an experienced CMIOSH assessor who provides regular feedback and clear guidance. They will help you understand the requirements and build a strong portfolio throughout your qualification.

How long does it take to complete an NVQ?

Completion time varies depending on your role and the level. As a guide, most learners complete Level 3 within 4–8 months and Level 6 within 6–12 months, working at a pace that fits around their job.

Can I upgrade my existing qualification?

Yes. If you're progressing from a Level 3 qualification or hold equivalent experience, you can move on to the Level 6 NVQ. Your suitability is confirmed during the initial call to ensure the level matches your responsibilities.

What’s the difference between an NVQ and NEBOSH?

NVQs are competence-based and assessed through workplace evidence. NEBOSH qualifications are knowledge-based and assessed through exams. Both are recognised, but NVQs offer a more flexible route for those who prefer practical, on-the-job learning.
