NVQs (PCV)

Passenger Carrying Vehicle Driving (Bus & Coach) NVQ Level 2 (EDI)
Every day, 1.3 million people go to work without the skills they need to do their jobs well. National Vocational Qualifications (NVQs) are work-related, competence-based qualifications. They are based on national occupational standards developed by sector skills councils and standard-setting bodies in consultation with employers. As such, NVQs reflect the skills and knowledge required by people working in particular industries. With help from STT, you are now able to invest in the development of your staff giving them the ability, confidence and motivation to deliver real bottom line benefit for both themselves and business alike.
