NVQ & Vocational Training

Vocational Qualifications and NVQs

Aquila Alternatives provide a range of nationally recognized vocational qualifications for staff working with children and young people. We are committed to providing a wide range of  qualifications for the children’s workforce that are recognised by the Qualification Credit Framework (QCF)

We currently offer a range of qualifications for the social care sector including management qualifications and qualifications for assessors and trainers. We are currently developing a much larger range of NVQ qualifications and BTEC qualifications that will support our short course training programme.

Our current NVQ portfolio includes:

• Health and Social Care Level 3 Children & Young People
• Health and Social Care Level 4 Children & Young People
• NVQ 4 Management
• Leadership and Management of Care Services
• A1 Assessor Award
• Preparing to Teach in the Lifelong Learning Sector (PTLLS)

We are continually adding to our suite of qualifications and would be pleased to hear from you if you have any particular requirements.

We are an accredited EDEXCEL Centre and employ skilled, qualified, occupationally experienced and competent Assessors and Verifiers. The majority of whom are existing or very recent practitioners; we feel this is crucial in order to understand the worker’s role, challenges and day to day demands.

We have various options available for delivering our NVQ training including fixed or flexible assessor hours, fixed or variable costs and fixed or variable support packages.

*Further details are available on request

All NVQ learners will be initially assessed and will be continually guided and supported throughout the process.  We have access to numerous resources to simplify the evidence gathering and portfolio building. In addition, we can offer underpinning knowledge workshops to support the individual awards and specific units of competence.
