Launch of the new N/SVQ standards in Learning and Development.

The Learning and Development qualifications have been an important part of the Chamber’s VQ portfolio.

In the past few years we have assessed candidates from Shetland and those candidates based on oil rigs in the North Sea.  Our simple but effective framework for this award means that candidates can be based anywhere and work through email and webcam.

The standards have now been revised and updated to make them more streamlined and reflective of current good practice.   Previously this award could be cumbersome and difficult for candidates to achieve. The changes make the new awards very acceptable to the modern work place and the new style of units; make them achievable in a shorter period of time.  Again, the award is an assessment of the candidate’s competence and they are completed in the workplace.

Learning & Development Level 3 is aimed at people delivering training in a workplace or training centre.

Learning & Development Level 4 is for people who design and deliver learning and development in a workplace or training centre or have responsibility for learning and development across most of the training cycle – needs identification, design, delivery, evaluation and improvement.

The Assessor and Verifier Awards have also been revised and these are offered as separate qualifications.

The VQ Team at the Chamber will be offering the new VQs from the beginning of April 2011.  For further information, please contact the Chamber VQ Team george.brand@agcc.co.uk
