Information about our Courses & Qualifications:

NVQs: evaluate your abilities in your job role. To complete an NVQ you need to prove that you can do certain work-related tasks. NVQs are assessed in a combination of ways: by portfolio – you build up evidence of what you’ve done at work; and by observation – an assessor watches you work and checks that you can do the tasks.

Short Courses: are delivered by our tutors either in your workplace or at our centre. Courses are designed to be interesting and informative. If you have any concerns about a course please feel free to speak to the tutor beforehand in private; they will support you with all your needs. For a full list of the short courses we currently offer see ‘Services’
