Free Interview Technique PDF when you sign up at NVQ Courses Hub

Sign up with NVQ Courses Hub and you'll receive a fantastic interview techniques guide for FREE.

Excerpt:


"It’s always a good idea to research the company as much as possible including the market they are in, any financial information and the structure. The company is likely to have a corporate website, so make sure you read as much as possible, paying particular attention to the ‘About Us’ section (if they have one). The vacancy you are applying for will be solving a problem the company are facing, so make sure you are aware of how you will slot in. If you are applying for a job as a web designer, you’ll want to know whether there is a team of web designers or whether you are the first."

NVQ course options to be dramatically reduced from 2014

The Government have announced that the number of available vocational courses is to be slashed from the current 3175 to just 125 by the year 2014.

The change is an effort to stop schools encouraging their pupils taking vocational courses that do little more than boost their league positions without helping student prospects. 
Of the 125 courses, just 70 will count towards a school’s performance with further evaluation on some “newer” courses.  This will give the Department for Education time to ascertain the validity of the new courses.

Courses that are to be scrapped include the Level 1 certificate in practical office skills, BTEC level 2 extended certificate in fish husbandry and the level 2 certificate in nail technology services.
A number of qualifications introduced by the previous Government will remain and concentrate on performing arts, sport, health and social care, media, music and engineering which are generally accepted as having better future prospects.

From a more positive perspective, it should become easier to search for, and select a suitable NVQ or equivalent course to further your chosen career.  If, like many, you are unsure on which career path to follow, the list of 125 courses compared to 3175 should be a far less daunting prospect.
