What will I study?
As noted above the course is primarily work based but includes college-based tutorials and lectures. These will give guidance on portfolio building, module choice, etc. Formal teaching and tutorial/practical sessions will provide underpinning knowledge in areas such as marketing, client service/support, cataloguing and the use of IT. There will also be opportunities to network with other NVQ candidates. Additional support will be given via the course Blog (an online Journal), the College Virtual learning Environment, and by e-mail.

How will I be assessed?
Assessment will be either through your portfolio of evidence, or by observation and assessment in the workplace, depending on the requirements of the individual modules.

Career Opportunities & Progression
The NVQs are recognised qualifications, suitable for work in many contexts. Those who achieve the level 3 NVQ may wish to consider studying for a degree in ILS through one of the full or part-time distance courses available from library schools in the UK. The NVQs are also part of the evidence CILIP will accept towards the ACLIP qualification, and provide a route to Chartered (MCLIP) status.
