Specifying awarding bodies for NVQs that you have defined in the content catalog. You must set up NVQs and the NVQ Award Body Table values in before you can use this page.

Understanding NVQ Setup

To track NVQs, you need to define the following:

  • NVQ content items.

  • NVQ unit content items.

  • NVQ Element content items.

    NVQ units are divided into elements and you track an employee's progress for each element separately.

  • Awarding bodies.

NVQs, NVQ units, and NVQ elements are stored in the content catalog. Use the following delivered content types for NVQs:

Content Type Description

NVQ ELEMENT

Use to define the elements associated with NVQ units.

NVQ UNIT

Use to define the NVQ units that are required by NVQs.

NVQ

Use to define the NVQ codes.

The content types are related as follows:

  • NVQ ELEMENT is a child of NVQ UNIT. This enables an element content item to be defined for different NVQ Unit content items. Satisfying the element only satisfies it within a specific NVQ Unit.

  • NVQ UNIT supports NVQ.

    This enables one NVQ unit to be linked to more than one NVQ. Satisfying one NVQ Unit qualifies as completion within all NVQs that are supported by the NVQ Unit.

When you set up NVQs, NVQ units, and NVQ elements, use the Relationship page in the Content Item component to link these items.

Set up NVQ data as follows:

  1. Set up the NVQs, NVQ units, and NVQ elements in the content catalog.

  2. Set up awarding body name and location using the NVQ Award Body Table component (NVQ_AWARD_BODY).

  3. Assign awarding bodies to NVQs using the NVQ Award Bodies component (NVQ_DETAILS).
