Like all NVQs, this qualification is competence based. This means that it is linked to candidates’ ability to competently perform a range of tasks connected with their work. Candidates must plan a programme of development and assessment with their assessor and compile a portfolio of evidence to prove that they are competent in their work role.
This qualification is suitable for an individual who would ideally be working within an organisation or role where they can develop and demonstrate their knowledge and apply their skills of higher-level responsibilities such as implementing change, managing a budget, managing a project and managing information and knowledge systems. They can also draw on previous experience within an organisation in which they are familiar.
