Questions and answers
I’ll like to enquire if the certificate gotten from this course is sufficient for recruiters as I intend applying for a care job Is it nvq certified?
Answer:You have to ask recruiters what they require for a particular care job. There is nothing called nvq certified. NVQ means National Vocational Qualification and refers to a competence-based qualification that is recognised by Ofqual, the Office of Qualifications and Examinations Regulation, the non-ministerial government department that regulates qualifications, exams and tests in England. The Care Certificate is not a qualification, it is a set of minimum induction standards for care staff.
