Is the NVQ only suited to low ability students?
For grade A-C students, the GCSE is the more appropriate route, particularly for those wishing to go to A level standard. However GCSE students may wish to take an NVQ at lunch times or after school in order to gain an additional qualification and to develop their business vocabulary. For students who are a borderline ‘C/D’ the NVQ may be more suitable, particularly as a level 2 NVQ is worth the same number of points as a ‘B’ at GCSE. For students who are below average, the NVQ is the ideal route because of its structure. The teacher can decide whether a student should do some or all of the skills.
