The courses provide vocationally relevant knowledge and skills, which can improve employability within these vocations.

Successful completion of units or the full Award can contribute to the achievement of an NVQ when vocationally employed.

National Vocational Qualifications are unit based, involving in-college theory assessments and at-work practical assessments and evidence collection and production. You MUST be vocationally employed and a portfolio of the specified evidence must also be completed. If necessary, you will be required to attend lessons in college to acquire the knowledge and skills specified.

This college-based component will include the related Technical Certificate qualification and safety tests. Painting and decorating in the construction industry is much more skilled than DIY.
