What is a Management NVQ?
A Management NVQ (National Vocational Qualification) is a practical, competency-based qualification that recognises your skills and experience in a management role. Instead of theoretical learning, you’re assessed based on real tasks and evidence from your current job. This makes it ideal for professionals already managing teams, projects, or operations.
