Train to Gain

Train to Gain NVQs

National Vocational Qualifications (NVQ) are nationally recognised qualifications. They are  generally suitable for people who are already working over 16 hours a week but who want to increase their qualifications. NVQ’s show your employer that you have reached a certain level of ability within a particular job and can be used on their own or as part of a programme leading to an Apprenticeship. NVQ’s are taken in the workplace which means that you do not have to attend night school or college.

What areas of work are covered?

There are many areas covered including

• Business Administration
• Contact Centre (Call centre Operations)
• Customer Service
• ITQ (Information technology Qualification)
• Logistics (Storage and Warehousing)
• Distribution and Warehousing
• Numeracy and Literacy

Seetec operates two NVQ programmes: Train to Gain and Work Based Learning

Although both Train to Gain and Work Based Learning lead to NVQ’s, they have different criteria for who is eligible to take part and how long they take to complete. Your Seetec Adviser will be able to help you decide which of these two NVQ routes is right for you depending on your personal circumstances, for example, your current level of qualifications or you age

Does it cost anything?

Both Train to Gain and Work Based Learning are funded by the Government

How Do I join an NVQ programme?

You need the support and agreement of your employer but once you have this it is very straightforward, ask your Seetec Adviser for details.  Once you have joined the programme you will then have a visit at work by one of Seetec’s Assessors who will review your skills and explain how the programme works.
