Level 3 NVQ in Retail

An NVQ (National Vocational Qualification) is a qualification that assesses someone’s competence (that is the skills, knowledge and understanding they have) within a work situation. NVQs are based on the national occupational standards that describe the level and breadth of performance expected of anyone working in the industry or sector that these NVQs cover.

This qualification comprises units which are based on the new National Occupational Standards developed by Skillsmart Retail, the sector skills council for the retail sector.

This NVQ follows the qualification structure developed by Skillsmart Retail and offers candidates a choice of three pathways - Sales Professional, Visual Merchandising and Management. This NVQ is designed to reflect the work of those candidates employed in a senior sales assistant or supervisory/team leader role in the retail sector. The NVQ will be appropriate for candidates who are: already competent in a significant variety of retail work activities and requiring recognition for a wider and more complex range of abilities; progressing from the Level 2 NVQ in Retail Skills; wishing to demonstrate competence gained previously in retailing or associated industries.

These NVQs are work-orientated qualifications and are suitable for those who undertake retail activities at work. These are open to candidates, of either gender and there are no entry barriers on grounds of race, creed or previous academic attainment or learning.
