Entry Requirements: 

We would require a pre-course meeting to discuss the course and to establish that this level is suitable for you. We will also check that the candidate has the ability to demonstrate competence in working practices within their current work role.

There are no formal entry requirements for candidates undertaking this NVQ; however candidates must have the potential and opportunity to gain evidence for the qualification in the work place and ideally should be employed in a business and administration role. Therefore, employer agreement and consent is essential.
You will have learned your skills on the job or by attending training courses and your assessor will help you to identify if there are any skills gaps which need to be filled prior to assessment.

Course Delivery: 

The NVQ is a competence based qualification, delivered through work based learning. Once an individual training plan is agreed and set up with the candidate, then the assessor will provide the necessary support and guidance.

The assessor will assist the candidate in identifying suitable evidence and assessment methods for each unit. Depending on the unit selected, assessment can be carried out by a variety of different methods e.g. to cover ‘performance’ the candidate portfolio can include evidence such as work products (copies of documents etc), assessor observations, witness testimony and written answers or verbal questioning can be used to confirm knowledge and understanding.

Customer Feedback

“The overall experience of working with GCS Training has been an extremely successful one and we hope to replicate this with future trainees. The apprenticeship programme has been a resounding success with all three successfully completing the course and more importantly using this knowledge and experience to move on to attain full time employment. The biggest impact the training had was on the confidence of individuals. ”
