About the NVQ / SVQ level 2 in Health and Social Care Qualification

The National Vocational Qualification (NVQ) and Scottish Vocational Qualification (SVQ) in Health and Social Care is the gold standard of the care industry and are available at different levels to support career progression. Anyone in a position of care within a residential home will want to obtain a Level 2 NVQ / SVQ in Health and Social Care to work effectively as a member of a care team.

The focus of the Level 2 NVQ / SVQ in Care, centres around person enabled care, in the development and maintenance of individual independence, in addition to direct care delivery to the patients.

The units are made up of mandatory, optional and additional units and you will need to achieve a combination of these in order to achieve your level 2 NVQ / SVQ in care award.

How we Assess Competency for an NVQ / SVQ in Care Qualification.

A NVQ and SVQ Health & Social Care qualification can only be delivered by an approved training centre. Affinity Training is approved by the Oxford, Cambridge and Royal Society of Arts Awarding Body (OCR).

In order to achieve a NVQ or SVQ in Health and Social Care the candidate will need to be assessed by a suitable assessor in the workplace. Affinity has NVQ trainers located throughout the UK and Northern Ireland, and SVQ assessors throughout Scotland so we can guarantee quality care training within your region.

Affinity Training's NVQ and SVQ assessors are flexible in their approach, and in many cases assessors can give candidates credit for prior learning during development of the NVQ or SVQ in Health and Social Care portfolio.

Once the level 2 Health and Social Care portfolio is completed it is checked by an internal verifier from Affinity Training, and then checked by an External Verifier from OCR. If the evidence is satisfactory the candidate is then awarded an NVQ / SVQ in Care Level 2 certificate.

We find that most carers complete their NVQ / SVQ Level 2 in Health and Social Care within 3 to 6 months.
