Chairman of BPEC, the NVQ certification organisation and charity, said: “For too long you could study to get into the industry and then you had to find an employer and that wasn’t always easy.

He says “Doing it this way saves you so much time and money, not forgetting the fact that it is near impossible to actually find your own jobs, that meet the criteria to be assessed.
