The EAL Level 3 NVQ Diploma in Business Improvement Techniques qualification is made up of a number of units of competence, which EAL has derived from the National Occupational Standards (NOS), which set out the collective performance, skills requirements and underpinning knowledge requirements. EAL provides documents which allow both the learners and the assessor to record the progress through the qualification. The units contain the performance to be assessed, the knowledge to be assessed and the evidence required from the learner to demonstrate their skills.
This NVQ qualification is gained when all the necessary units have been achieved.
The centre will then be able to apply for the learner’s NVQ certificate of achievement.
The learner will also receive a certificate of unit credit, listing all the units they have completed, which can be used as accredited prior learning to complete a qualification.
