What the college says

This level will suit you if you are already in full-time employment, progressing from a Level 1 qualification, or in a position to start Level 2. To gain an NVQ, you need to show you've got a particular set of skills. You will work with your training provider to review your current skills and find the best way to gain new ones. The NVQ qualifications are assessed in a simulated professional kitchen. For each unit your assessor watches and asks questions as you perform a task or looks at a portfolio of work that you've built as formal evidence of your learning. Then they confirm you've got the skills to do the job well.

What you need to get on

The provider has not listed entry requirements. Ask them directly, and ask what happens if your grades come out lower than expected.

How you are assessed

Learning a trade with tools and equipment, often in a college workshop or salon.

What this level means

The GCSE-equivalent step, and the usual route into Level 3.

Is it open to 16 to 18 year olds?
