NVQ Level 4 Management

NVQ Level 4 Management

Entry Requirements
Whilst there are no prior entry requirements in terms of knowledge, attainment or experience, an appropriate knowledge and understanding of underpinning principles of leadership and the management process will need to be demonstrated.

Progression
Successful candidates at all levels may expect to benefit from enhanced career prospects within management and leadership.

Successful candidates at levels 3 and 4 may progress on to a higher level NVQ - either in management or another appropriate occupational area - provided that their circumstances allow for competence to be demonstrated against the appropriate national occupational standards.

Alternatively, candidates may choose to progress to a vocationally related programme - in management and leadership or another appropriate occupational area. This option may be preferable where the opportunity to demonstrate competence at a higher level within management is not yet present, but the candidate wishes to begin development and acquisition of relevant knowledge and skills.

ILM Membership
Successful completion of the NVQs in Team Leading/Management offers eligibility for ILM membership as follows:

Level:
Grade of Membership:
ILM Level 3

ILM Level 4 or 5
Minimum grade of Member (MInstLM)

Programme Outline
A full NVQ Level, 3, 4 or 5 in Management is available to any candidate who is able to demonstrate competence as defined by the relevant national occupational standards.

Certificates of unit credit are available for individual units. Candidates who have previously achieved any of the units whilst attaining other qualifications containing any of the management and leadership units will, of course, be credited with these units towards attainment of the relevant team leading or management qualification.

In order to achieve any unit candidates must demonstrate that they meet all of the stated outcomes and behaviours and every item of knowledge and understanding (general; industry/sector and context specific).

Outline of NVQs at Levels 3-5
Outlines of the qualifications at levels 3-5 are shown below.

There are five units which have been imported and are therefore presented in a slightly different format, as they have been developed by other standards setting bodies. These units contain elements which have performance criteria, knowledge requirements, and evidence requirements. The units which have been identified below must be evidenced and assessed in line with the guidance for those units.
