Recent NVQ Qualifiers
Congratulations to Helen Booth and Karen Breese. Helen and Karen
run the Severn NVQ Assessment Centre which is part of Shropshire, Telford and
Wrekin PCT. They decided they wanted to complete their own level 4 Management
NVQs through an external provider and we were flattered when they approached us
for help. They targeted themselves to complete one unit per month and
successfully achieved this, despite having very busy working lives and FOUR
CHILDREN EACH! We took great pleasure in presenting them with their
certificates, and although it was a little while ago now, we like their story
and the picture, so we're keeping them in the news!

Interesting Info
 |
This is hot off the press - for Leadership & Management NVQ
learners, there will soon be an additional nine, optional units to choose
from. These include a green unit, 'Manage the environmental
impact of your work' and another good one, 'Take effective decisions' -
which might prove a little radical for some!

Standardisation of NVQ assessment decisions is now
very much a requirement for all Assessment Centres. Sometimes this
isn't easy to achieve for small Centres, or for Centres running schemes with
low candidate numbers.

It's official! MAPS Group continues to receive a clean
bill of health from external evaluations. |
 |
The revised QCA Code of Practice for NVQ Assessment Centres
has at last been published, but it's a bit of a damp squib - not very
different to the last one. |
|

What's New
 |
The list of NVQs
we are able to offer has been updated and now includes ITQ and Contact
Centre qualifications (including the unit which
relates to incident management). |
 |
Thank goodness!! The
need for independent assessment of the new management NVQs is no
longer a requirement. Apparently current thinking is that if the Internal Verification
process is sufficiently robust, independent assessment becomes
unnecessary. (Which is what we all said in the first place!)

We are now approved by ELCAS as a training provider to
military service personnel. |
