- NVQs are different from traditional
qualifications. They are based, not on
what people know and can
reproduce in an examination, but on what people can do and demonstrate
at work. - In traditional qualifications, only part of the curriculum is learned and assessed. In an NVQ, everything that is specified in the qualification must be achieved and assessed.
| Traditional Qualifications | National Vocational Qualifications |
| Define what candidates need to know and learn | Define what should happen in employment |
| Teach some of it to them | Find out what the candidate can already do |
| Assess part of it | Assess what the candidate can already do |
| Encourage and support the candidate to learn how to do the remainder | |
| Assess what the candidate can do |
