EspañolGENERAL_NATIONAL_VOCATIONAL_QUALIFICATION
(Redirected from GNVQ)
A 'General National Vocational Qualification', or 'GNVQ', is a certificate of vocational education in the United Kingdom. These qualifications are related to occupational areas in general, rather than any specific job.
GNVQs are available to people of all ages. Many schools and colleges offer these courses and they can be studied alongside GCSEs or A levels. There are different levels of GNVQ, namely the Intermediate level ("equivalent" to four qualifications at GCSE - some controversy surrounds GNVQs and the use of them in school league tables because of this). The GNVQ generally involves a lot of coursework, which means that citizens can show their skills when applying for jobs.
GNVQ qualifications can be taken in a wide range of subjects, however they are being phased out and will be completely withdrawn by October 2007. Alternative GNVQ qualifications include vocational GCSEs, BTEC diplomas and certificates, OCR Nationals and City and Guild progression awards. For further details please see [1]
