Retail Operations Advanced Modern Apprenticeship/Modern Trainee

The Retail Operations Advanced Modern Apprenticeship is made up of the following qualifications:

  • Retail Operations NVQ Level 3
  • Additional Units (to be agreed with the learner’s advisor) Key Skills

National Vocational Qualifications are competence based and differ considerably from the more traditional type of examination. The major differences are as follows:

  • there are no formal entry requirements
  • there are minimal examinations in Key Skills only, though exemptions do apply
  • they can be gained in a variety of ways and circumstances
  • they take account of previous experience
  • they allow the individual to work and achieve at their own pace
  • assessment (in place of traditional examination) is undertaken, wherever possible, in the work environment
  • credit is given for actual competence on the job, not what you do or do not know
  • each unit can be achieved individually (as units of credit); full National qualification is awarded when all units have been achieved
  • they are national standards so are transferable should you change jobs
