The training provider does all thee assessment of the learner and helps them complete and gain their NVQ qualification. The training provider is paid by the government to do this so the learner and the employer doesn’t have to pay a thing ( in most cases). The training provider often has learners who have done a Foundation certificate (NVQ Level 1) in a particular subject and wants to get a job or an apprenticeship in order to get their level 2.
