What is an NVQ?
* An NVQ is a competence-based qualification. The qualification is an
International recognised work-based qualification. Once qualified, it will
demonstrate to employers that you are skilled and able to perform well in
your role at work.
* This is where you will be able to demonstrate your ability at work and
complete a list of job knowledge questions regarding the units in your
qualification. It is the candidate’s responsibility to engage with the
Assessor and gather the evidence that will match the assessment criteria in
your NVQ.
How can the candidate gather the onsite/work evidence and job knowledge
questions?
* Risk Assessment
* Method Statement
* Drawings
* Materials
* Measuring, Cutting, Positioning, and securing in place what you are
installing.
Methods of ways of gathering evidence -
* Videos – this will be the candidate setting up their video and then
demonstrating their skills and ability on site and then upload to the
candidate’s portfolio.
* On site assessment - where your assessor will come out to you and observe you
demonstrating your skills. This will depend on the site location and
assessors’ location. If the site location is too far for the assessment to
take place, it will be solely video evidence. Your Assessor will instruct you
on how to complete your videos.
* Witness testimony - your Assessor will hold a recorded discussion with your
manager/supervisor to confirm where, when and how you have completed the work
to the specifications.
* Photos – They can be used as part of an assessment. They will not be accepted
if the candidate isn’t in the photo. Photos cannot be used to build up a
portfolio but can be used as part of the videos showing the full completed
job and also in the Assessors on site assessment observation report.
Job Knowledge Questions account for 65% of the NVQ qualification. These can be
saved to your computer and typed as this will be the quickest and easiest route
or you can print them out and hand write them. They are very important, and they
are written to see if you have the knowledge behind what you are doing on site
or at work. The questions are all relevant to the work that you do.
