What is an NVQ?

An NVQ (National Vocational Qualification) formally recognises the skills and achievements you have attained in the workplace.

An NVQ in Business and Administration is not academic study, nor is it undertaken in a classroom environment. There are also no exams. It is a competency-based process whereby you will gather evidence of tasks and achievements from your workplace enrironment.

In order to receive recognition for the work you do, you gather evidence over a period of up to one year.

All the evidence is then placed in a portfolio (folder of work) for assessment.

The evidence may be, for example, emails you have sent; work you've typed up; systems you have implemented or changes you have made at work.

How does it work?

Once you have started on the programme you will be put in touch with an NVQ Assessor who will be your mentor throughout your programme. He/she will visit you at your place of work regularly - normally once per month for about two hours.

During that time you will be shown how to gather evidence and what you need to do. After every visit you will be given a list of action points to follow up on in order for your NVQ to progress.

What are the programme aims?

You will aim to work towards gathering evidence for 6 administrative units overall. Two of these units are set and are mandatory (not optional), then you can choose four more units from a host of options. It is best to choose your optional units so that they best match the work you do. The full list of optional units to choose your four units from are as follows:

- Manage and evaluate customer relations (if you deal with customers a great deal, obtain feedback and action any issues).- Research, analyse and report information (if you often have to search out information, like statistics and results).- Manage an office facility (if you oversee and manage the office's physical space).- Manage contracts (if you often control the organisation of contracts in your place of work).- Negotiate and agree budgets (if a large part of your job involves working towards meeting budgets and controlling them).- Monitor and review the implementation of corporate objectives, strategies and policies (if you often have to ensure that staff are meeting the requirements of corporate policy and objectives).- Inform and facilitate corporate decision making - (if a large part of your job is providing information to senior people in your organisation, in order that they can make decisions based on that information).- Evaluate internal and external factors and promote partnership working (if a large part of your job is to assess the impact of changes that are happening in your workplace, and look at ways of addressing them through avenues such as new partnership arrangements).- Manage risk (if you often have to look at the chance of things going wrong in your workplace, and to then implement changes to ensure risk is minimised. May/may not be Health & Safety issues).- Create and manage information systems (if a large part of your job is to create administrative systems in order to control information, such as filing systems).- Manage projects.
