NVQ - National Vocational Qualification
For information on the approval of qualifications for funding in England, Wales and Northern Ireland, see the links to DCSF, DIUS, DCELLS, DELNI and DENI below.
When undertaking a qualification that does not appear on the governments' lists as eligible for funding for specific age ranges, users must be aware of legal requirements. Not all qualifications are suitable for all age ranges.
Candidates can progress within and to employment and to other related manufacturing and engineering qualifications at Levels 2 and 3.
Edexcel will ensure equitable and fair delivery of NVQ assessment and verification by carrying out standard external verification and regular risk assessments in each assessment centre.
Candidates must complete two units from Group A (unit 2.01 together with either unit 2.02 or 2.21), plus three units from Group B (candidates may NOT choose both unit 2.05 and unit 2.06), plus one unit from Group C (if a candidate has already chosen units 2.03 and/or 2.20 from Group B, these units may NOT be selected again from Group C).
