All Scottish Apprenticeships must contain a relevant Scottish Vocational Qualifications (SVQs) or Competency Based Qualifications (CBQs). SVQs and CBQs are work-based qualifications based on National Occupational Standards of competence drawn up by representatives from each industry sector. They are made up of units – normally between six and ten – which break a job down into separate functions reflecting the different kind of activities of a job. SVQs and CBQs are available at a range of levels – although most are at SCQF levels 5, 6 and 7. When someone has achieved an SVQ or CBQ, there is a guarantee that they have the skills and knowledge needed to do their job.
Do you support the inclusion of the listed SVQs as the competence based qualifications for the pathway(s) relevant to your organisation?
