Mainstream's assessors deliver NVQ's across a 24 hour shift pattern and across a 7 day week, this is to ensure every person has access to an assessor.

NVQ’s are wholly delivered on site, at the customers premises. This allows for minimal disruption and no time to the employer lost. The NVQ assessor is interested in observing the candidate whilst conducting their job role in a real work environment.

This NVQ procedure has no need to release candidates on a day release scheme and very little time away from conducting their daily duties. Assessors will however be required to produce an individual portfolio, which will require the answering of questions and the production of evidence.

All candidates must undergo an induction to commence the NVQ. This can be done within the workplace or outside operating hours.

Each candidate will be allocated a dedicated NVQ assessor who will work with them on an individual basis through the qualification.

An NVQ may take up to 10 weeks to complete, dependant on employer and candidate availability. Each party will be kept informed of the progress towards achievement.
