Yes. National and Scottish Vocational Qualifications (NVQ/SVQs) are in-service qualifications for practising weather forecasters and meteorological observers. The competencies are assessed on the job – there are no exams. These qualifications are administered by the Society and awarded by PAA\VQSET. Assessments are based in the workplace and are undertaken by registering with one of the Assessment Centres (Met Office and Royal Navy Training Group). The NVQ/SVQs are recognised throughout the EU.
