Qualifications > VQs

Vocational Qualifications (VQs) are qualifications located either within the National Qualifications Framework or the Qualifications and Credit Framework. They are related to employment but do not necessarily require work placement in the same way that an S/NVQ might. This means that people can undertake training and practice for a different job or a new career, or they may train to advance within their current occupation.

These types of credit-based qualifications can enable learners to develop their knowledge; understanding and practice at an appropriate level which suits their own particular needs and circumstances. Lantra Awards is an approved awarding body for this type of qualification.
