VRQ - Vocationally-Related 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.
This qualification is approved as a technical certificate on the Apprenticeship framework. Learners completing this qualification could progress to other Level 2 vocational qualifications such as the Level 2 BTEC First Certificate/Diploma in Business, or to the Level 2 NVQ in Customer Service; to Level 3 qualifications such as the Level 3 BTEC National Certificate/Diploma in Business or the Level 3 NVQ in Customer Service; they could also progress to employment, to work in suitable customer service roles eg sales/retail staff, staff working on service desks or call centre staff.
Both units will be assessed through one computer-based multiple-choice test. This test will holistically assess the underpinning knowledge and understanding of the core units of the Level 2 NVQ in Customer Service.
This qualification will consist of two mandatory units.
