Introducing training for care assistants.
National vocational qualifications (NVQs) are based upon national standards determined by representatives from employer organisations, unions, and education and training providers. The framework for NVQs is centred on the assumption that students gain knowledge and experience which makes them competent to carry out their role. NVQs are, therefore, composed of a number of units of competence. The units contain performance criteria against which the candidate is assessed and they also outline the knowledge that the candidate is expected to demonstrate.
