DRIVER NVQ’S— LGV / PCV / FLT - TRAIN TO GAIN FUNDED TRAINING
National Vocational Qualifications NVQ’s are practical work-based qualifications that are recognised by employers and colleges throughout the UK. They are awarded to people who have proved their skill, knowledge and understanding of all aspects of their job. These qualifications demonstrate an individual's occupational competence in their job role. As NVQ’s are role based, Training and Assessment are undertaken whilst the employee carries out their daily role under the supervision of the NVQ Asssessor / Trainer.
NVQ’s are supported by Government funding under The Train to Gain Programme. Transport related NVQ’s are in most cases fully funded and therefore can be delivered at no cost to the employee. link to Train to Gain

It requires driving skills to be shown whilst driving a goods vehicle that is laden with a typical load. Drivers must demonstrate a sufficient level of competence to complete 7 mandatory units whilst working to gain the award.
NVQ ROUTE TO THE DRIVER CPC
Can NVQs support the Driver CPC?
We are currently working with Driving Standards Agency (DSA) & the Learning Skills Council (LSC) to explore ways in which the NVQs can support the Driver’s CPC. By aligning the content of Driver CPC with the requirements of the NVQ, it may be possible for there to be some overlap in training e.g. achievement of the NVQ could also count as evidence towards the Driver CPC NVQ or vice versa. We will update our website as more information is released
