Summerhouse is funded by the Government for the following:
- To enrol learners aged 16+ years on NVQ Apprenticeships and 19+ years on NVQ Train To Gain (TTG) courses.
To register the learners with City and Guilds for NVQ and Key Skills programmes.
To oversee their training & provide additional training as necessary

Each learner has an NVQ Level 2 or 3 portfolio to include Key Skills, provided by Summerhouse.
These portfolios are updated to show the learners work based training.
When a learner is fully competent an NVQ assessor will sign off their portfolio.

What if you don't want to do NVQs?
What if you're unsure about doing NVQs - but need funding for training?

Many people are still wary of NVQs as they are a new style work based qualification
People do not realise that they can continue to train for their BHS or ABRS exams as the
syllabuses are almost identical to NVQs.
The main difference is that the government currently only fund NVQs.
|
|
Whether you wish to train for BHS, ABRS or NVQ exams, NVQs are the answer
|
NVQ's are ideal for people who suffer from exam nerves, because you do not have to take a final exam, (with the exception of a paper based Technical Certificate, to be completed at the work place). An NVQ qualification is gained through continual work based assessment.
All NVQs can be used to gain direct entry to BHS exams.
ie NVQ Level 2 in Horse Care (Riding) – direct entry to BHS Stage 2 or BHS Stage 3
ie NVQ Level 3 in Horse Care & Management (Riding) – direct entry to BHS Stage 2, 3 or 4.
