This was helpful.What is the difference between this course and an NVQ level 3
Answer:Hello National Vocational Qualifications, they are work based awards that test your ability to complete a job to a certain required standard. RQF's are based on a system where students earn credits. One credit usually takes around 10 hours to complete. These credits build up to form full qualifications. The content is near identical for NVQ and RQF TA. Thanks
