Management NVQs

Management NVQs (national vocational qualifications) are aimed at people in management roles across all occupations and sectors of employment.

Like all NVQs, these management qualifications are competence based. This means that it is linked to the candidate's ability to competently perform a range of tasks connected with their work. Candidates plan a programme of development and assessment with their assessor and compile a portfolio of evidence to prove that they are competent and knowledgeable in their work role.
