Overview

Retail Operations NVQs are aimed at people working in the retail sector.

This qualification is about working in a retail environment. You will find it appropriate if you are operating at a basic level in your work role. It will be suitable for you if you are:

  • new to the retail sector
  • following training programmes
  • following training programmes in preparation for work
  • leaving school.

This qualification is very flexible in its structure enabling the organisation and individual to choose the optional units which best suit their work situation and job role.

Like all NVQs, this qualification is competence based. This means that it is linked to the candidate's ability to competently perform a range of tasks connected with their work. Candidates plan a programme of development with their assessor and compile a portfolio of evidence to prove that they are competent and knowledgeable in their work role.
