The National Vocational Qualifications (NVQ) Framework is a seven level qualification framework. A Qualification is generally a package of competency units to suit requirements in a particular position in the labour market.
|
| |
|
The criteria for giving levels to qualifications are based on three parameters.
|
|
 |
Complexity of the process that a qualification holder will carry out |
|
|
Learning demand (difficulty in learning of those processes) |
|
|
Responsibility of the job holder when relevant processes are carried out |
