As a SHEilds NVQ candidate, you are provided with a Portfolio Manager and an Assessor, who will guide you through your selected vocational qualification, SHEilds aim to get each candidate through their vocational qualification within 9 Months however you have up-to 24 Months to complete it.
To gain a full NVQ you must collate enough evidence to prove you are competent in the required units. You can then claim a full certificate. If you cannot finish all of the units for the full qualification, you may claim a ‘unit certificate’ that lists the unit or units that have been signed off by your assessor. You may do more than the necessary number of units in which case the additional units will be shown on your unit certificate.
Some of the units in these vocational qualifications appear in other NVQs (such as B5 and C13). If you have already achieved any of the units through another awarding body, please tell your assessor and they will arrange for this to count towards your full vocational qualification. You will need to present to your assessor your original unit certificate issued by the other awarding body.
You may find that a unit or part of a unit matches something you did some time ago, perhaps in a previous job. Tell your assessor about this. While past achievements may only be acceptable if they reflect what you can do now, you may be able to use your past achievements as evidence for your NVQ.
Workshops
Free workshops are offered to all NVQ candidates, the workshops are delivered to help candidates understand the vocational qualification process and build their portfolios. Workshops are held at varying locations throughout the UK and the Middle East, for further information please contact your course advisor.
