Frequently Asked Questions?
The key difference between the National Vocational Qualification (NVQ) and the Regulated Qualifications Framework (RQF) in adult care lies in the structure and assessment approach.
NVQ was a work-based qualification that existed under the National Vocational Qualifications framework and focused on assessing an individual’s ability to perform job-related tasks to a set standard. It was widely used in the UK until it was replaced in 2010 by the Qualifications and Credit Framework (QCF), which itself was phased out in favor of the RQF in 2015.
RQF is the current framework used in adult care, allowing for a more flexible and modular approach to qualifications. Under the RQF, learners can achieve units and credits over time, which can be built into full qualifications. It emphasizes practical competency and knowledge, similar to NVQs, but offers more flexibility in how and when learners can complete assessments. The qualifications are structured by levels, ranging from entry-level to Level 8, depending on the complexity and responsibility involved in the role.Â
Fastnvq.co.uk offers accelerated learning options, flexible course structures, expert tutor support, and a user-friendly online platform, enabling you to complete your qualifications efficiently and effectively.
With our fast track options, you can complete NVQ Level 2 in 3-4 months and NVQ Level 3 in 5-7 months, depending on your pace and availability.
The NVQ Level 2 in Adult Care costs £600, and the NVQ Level 3 in Adult Care costs £750. These prices include priority support, study assistance, and generalised educational support services.
