Course information

The difference between qualifications. Diplomas vs  NVQ/VRQ qualifications.

If you decide on the NVQ/VRQ qualification you will also be required to attend an additional day/s for assessments, further to this you will automatically receive a diploma qualification. More information will be given to you during your practical day at the Academy.
