Different forms of evidence that meet the NVQ system requirements are built into
a personal portfolio. Assessors and Mentors should work with you to find the best
approach for your NVQ portfolio compilation. Assessors must come to your
workplace to observe you. They should assist you with your portfolio build on a
one-to-one basis, if you need personal assistance. The evidence in the portfolio is
internally verified by the training organisation. It is then externally verified by an
independent 3rd party external verifier to ensure all the evidence submitted against
each units requirements is current, appropriate, relevant and sufficient [CARS] to
meet the NVQ requirements of the Awarding Body.
1st Aid Trainers Approved by PDO to deliver 1st Aid training, are strongly
recommended to also obtain Unit 16 as a mandatory requirement.
Credits gained from units in this qualification have the same credit values and
unit numbers in the Level 3 Certificate in Learning & Development. A student

Different forms of evidence that meet the NVQ system requirements are built into a personal portfolio.
Assessors and Mentors should work with you to find the best approach for your NVQ portfolio
compilation. Assessors must come to your workplace to observe you. They should assist you with your
portfolio build on a one-to-one basis, if you need personal assistance. The evidence in the portfolio is
internally verified by the training organisation. It is then externally verified by an independent 3rd party
external verifier to ensure all the evidence submitted against each units requirements is current,
appropriate, relevant and sufficient [CARS] to meet the NVQ requirements of the Awarding Body.
The Level 5 NVQ is on a par with the NEBOSH Diploma Level 6. IOSH holds
both qualifications at entrance level for Graduate membership, which
after 2 years documented, assessed and verified CPD, can lead to
Chartered Membership of IOSH (CMIOSH).
English
For training delivery in English, a trainer whose first language is not English shall be
required to have attained the General Training International English Language Testing
System (IELTS) Band 6 in all four categories, i.e. reading, writing, speaking and listening
comprehension.
In an exceptional case a Level 1 trainer, with an overall IELTS grading below Band 6,
may be given approval, providing Band 6 gradings or above are achieved in the
speaking and listening modules. Each case shall be treated on its merits on a case by
case basis.
A summary of the IELTS scheme is shown below.
Other Languages
Where training is to be delivered in a language that is not the trainers first language, an
assessment process will be carried out involving the trainer, the HSE Training Manager
and the Company.

Has full operational command of the language with only occasional unsystematic inaccuracies and
Very Good User inappropriacies. Misunderstandings may occur in unfamiliar situations. Handles complex detailed
argumentation well.
Good User
Has operational command of the language, though with occasional inaccuracies, inappropriateness
and misunderstandings in some situations. Generally handles complex language well and
understands detailed reasoning.
Competent
User
Has generally effective command of the language despite some inaccuracies, inappropriacies and
misunderstandings. Can use and understand fairly complex language, particularly in familiar
situations.
Modest user
Has partial command of the language, coping with overall meaning in most situations, though is
likely to make many mistakes. Should be able to handle basic communication in own field.
Limited User
Basic competence is limited to familiar situations. Has frequent problems in using complex
language.
Extremely
Limited User
Intermittent
User
No real communication is possible except for the most basic information using isolated words or
short formulae in familiar situations and to meet immediate needs.
Non User
Essentially has no ability to use the language beyond possibly a few isolated words.

test
The first three modules - Listening, Reading and Writing (always in that order) - are completed in
one day, and in fact are taken with no break in between. The Speaking Module may be taken, at
the discretion of the test centre, in the period seven days before or after the other Modules.
The tests are designed to cover the full range of ability from non-user to expert user.

September 10th, December 10th, March 10th, and June 10 th through the Arab Academy
