they will keep the money jim cause they will be the accredited centre for city and guilds or whoever the awarding body is. They will have secured a contract from the government to qualify this person and nvqs were set up for on the job training. They are just assessing their work to a specific set of criteria which when they have met will give them their nvq. Hate to tell you but they will be getting a monthly fee just for them to be on their books i used to work in training and its a farce to be honest. only winners are the private training companies and colleges.
