An NVQ does not require the completion of a formal written assignment.
Instead, each NVQ candidate will be required to complete a portfolio of
evidence. Much of the evidence required for the portfolio will be
self-generating through the varying course assessments, skills tests,
lesson plans etc.
The successful Adult would gain an NVQ which is transferable into many
areas of employment, and are highly regarded within the civilian sector.
The award level gained would depend upon the NVQ studied.
