The NVQ can be regarded as a "coat hanger" to hang your business best practices on. Work based assessment is the best possible indicator you can give to a customer that your staff are working to national occupational standards.
Using NVQs as a Business Improvement Tool
Although we see many fine examples of the use of NVQs in the glass industry, we also come across many examples where those in charge do not seem to fully understand the benefits that can be obtained from this approach.
There has been a surge in demand for NVQs in the construction industry driven mainly by the need to attain a CSCS Card to gain access to building sites, yet the very same companies who pursue the CSCS card don't seem to realise what benefits they could gain by using the NVQ in other sections of their operation. NVQs can be used as a measure against "best practice solutions" and we all know the advantages of every body working in the same way. If you want to look at developing your business, then please contact GQA on 01114 272 0033 and we will arrange for someone to discuss it with you.
