NVQ Occupational Languages
25 September 2016
Withdrawal of NVQ Occupational Language qualifications
We recently announced plans to withdraw the NVQ Occupational Languages suite of qualifications from 31 December 2016. A further review has highlighted there are some languages and skills levels with very low uptake. We have, therefore, been guided by Ofqual to bring forward the last entry dates to 30 September 2016 for the following qualifications:
- Entry Level, Level 3 and Level 4 NVQ Languages in Welsh
- Entry Level and Level 4 NVQ Languages in Spanish
- Level 4 NVQ Languages in French
- Level 4 NVQ Languages in German
The last date to claim certificates will remain the same as the remainder of the NVQ Occupational Languages suite as 31 December 2018:
