Unique selling points

NVQs differ from other qualifications in that they recognise competence rather than academic ability and they are work-based, having open access with no barriers, adding to the candidate’s self-respect – and to the respect of others in the Ports Industry. An NVQ Certificate – even for one unit – demonstrates that the candidate has the ability to accomplish a given task – proof of the candidate’s ability to reach given standards in their area of work activity.
