  GNVQ (General National Vocational Qualification)
 
 
Service: GNVQ (General National Vocational Qualification)
Responsible Authority: Department for Education and Skills
Service Area: Department for Education and Skills
Description: GNVQs are about work, but they don't train pupils for a specific job. They prepare pupils for work through studying broad areas - for example, leisure and tourism, or health and social care. They give them experience, knowledge and skills relevant to work, usually through contact with working adults. GNVQs are made up of units, and pupils gain a certificate for each unit as they complete it.
