They are assessed in a combination of ways: By portfolio - you build up evidence of what you've done at work; and by observation - an assessor watches you work and checks that you can do the tasks. Candidates produce evidence to prove they have the competence to meet the NVQ/SVQ standards.

You cannot fail an NVQ. You are either classed as competent, or not yet competent; which means you would need to provide additional or further evidence over a period of time.

Applications are assessed in order of receipt and processing times may vary. Most candidates complete a course in 3 - 12 months dependant on the level. Some in as little as 3 months depending on what time you have available and what evidence you may already have.
