How do you get one?

• The Vocationally Related Qualification or IMI National Qualification and Core Skills are delivered and achieved at an IMI Awards approved centre
• A student is observed and assessed doing their job in the workplace to complete their SVQ
• A portfolio of evidence is gathered at work, while carrying out operations and tasks, with on-line assessment of skills
• A Modern Apprenticeship is typically completed in 3 years
