How is this NVQ assessed?
You will be assessed in a variety of ways so you can show your skills and knowledge:
✓ Workplace Evidence – Photos, videos, and explanations of tasks you do during your day-to-day job
✓ Written or verbal questions – to show what you know
✓ A Workplace Observation – your assessor or qualified witness watches you carry out a planned task
✓ A Witness Testimony – a statement from your supervisor or manager confirming your skills.
Once you’re registered, we’ll send you a work pack, and your assessor will contact you to book your induction. During this meeting, they’ll explain how to gather evidence, go through the workbook with you, and get to your know strengths and any areas where you many need extra support.
You will have direct contact with your assessor throughout your NVQ by email and Teams. You will also be able to send photos, videos and voice notes to your assessor through WhatsApp. We don’t use online platforms or a team of admin staff, we prefer a much more personal, one-to-one approach.
