How is the NVQ structured?
To help your staff develop a tailored programme to meet their specific needs, the Team Leading NVQ includes a work profile tool. By analysing their current role, it identifies the most relevant units.
This means you can have several staff each taking a different route to achieve a Team Leading NVQ, each with learning outcomes that relate to their own particular role.
Six units must be completed to achieve the Level 2 Team Leading NVQ. There are four mandatory units:
- Manage your own resources
- Provide leadership for your team
- Develop productive working relationships
- with colleagues
- Ensure your own actions reduce risks to
- health and safety
A wide range of options are available for the other two units, meaning individuals can focus on the areas of team leading that are most relevant to their role, industry or company. The optional units include:
- Developing yourself as a team leader
- Leading, briefing and motivating your work team
- Induction and coaching in the workplace
How is the Team Leading NVQ delivered?
We deliver this ITQ through one of our local learndirect Business centres.
Each employee has an initial assessment to identify any gaps in their knowledge, and which units are appropriate for them. Work-based learning and previous experience can be taken into account.
The qualification is awarded when evidence of competence in the workplace has been successfully collected and assessed.
Government funding is often available to support the cost of NVQs delivered in this way. If your organisation already has qualified assessors, you can purchase just the underpinning knowledge for this NVQ, which is hosted on our e-learning system.
Is there funding available for this NVQ?
