Ms Jill Robinson the NVQ & Accredited Courses Coordinator at AVES was pleased to congratulate all candidates for their hard work and suggested everyone enjoy the ‘feel good factor’ of the candidates’ achievements. She went on to thank the NVQ Assessors and Internal Verifiers for their support and guidance given to the candidates, and thanked employers and managers for their continued commitment to these work based qualifications.

Ms Lilla Oliver, CEO gave the keynote speech, which included references to the NVQ developments at Prince Andrew School, and thanks to the AVES team for their work.
