NVQs work by testing your abilities in the workplace. To complete an NVQ you need to prove that you can do certain work-related tasks . . .

You are then assessed in two types of ways :

• Portfolio - You build up evidence of what you've done at work
• Observation - An assessor watches you work and checks that you can do the tasks

Students produce evidence to prove they have the competence to meet the NVQ standards. An assessor then signs off units when you are ready to move on

The assessor tests candidates' knowledge, understanding and work-based performance to make sure that you can demonstrate competence in the workplace

Candidates compare their performance with the standards as they learn. Look at what they have achieved, how much they may still need to learn & do, then how you should go about it, until you are assessed as competent for a unit or whole NVQ Level
