NVQs are vocational, work-based qualifications and the focus is on performing
practical tasks to a high standard. There are no external examinations, but 
students are assessed throughout the course through the production of a 
portfolio of evidence which forms the basis of their assessment and in some 
cases, short internal examinations.

Students work towards an NVQ at either Level 1 (equivalent to gaining a GCSE at Grades 
D-G), or a Level 2 (equivalent to gaining a GCSE at grades A*-C). 

We work in partnership with Easton College, Norfolk Training Services (NTS) 
and Norwich City College to deliver a range of NVQs at differing levels.

Students applying for these courses will need to consider the types of course available 
to them and their TMGs/ELPs when selecting the level of course they apply for. Not all 
courses are available at Level 2 and as such it would be unsuitable for a student with 
TMGs/ELPs of A*-C to select a Level 1 course. These levels and your attitude grades will 
be carefully considered during your school interview.

There is only a limited number of places to be offered.  Level 1 courses will be given
priority.

Courses available include: (subject to change)

	All Level 1 NVQs (equivalent to 2 GCSEs at grades D-G): - Agriculture Pathway - Countryside Pathway - Agriculture and Machinery - Landscape Construction Pathway - Using and Growing Flowers and Plants Pathway - Animal Care Pathway - Horse Care Pathway
