  General National Vocational Qualification - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A General National Vocational Qualification, or GNVQ, is a certificate of vocational education in the United Kingdom.
There are different levels of GNVQ, namely the Intermediate level ("equivalent" to four qualifications at GCSE - some controversy surrounds GNVQs and the use of them in school league tables because of this), standard it involves a lot of coursework (equivalent to two A levels).
GNVQ qualifications can be taken in a wide range of subjects, however they are being phased out and will be completely withdrawn by October 2007.

 FINNBASE: The General National Vocational Qualification (GNVQ) in England
GNVQ was specifically intended to provide the skills, knowledge and understanding of a vocational area so as to give opportunities for progression into employment (and NVQs) or further learning.
GNVQ units are described in terms of outcomes, and students are assessed against criteria specified by the National Council for Vocational Qualifications (NCVQ).
The national case study on the GNVQ, prepared by Brown 1996a for the DUOQUAL project, was summarised in Brown and Manning 1998a (pp 5-7).

 Constructing vocational education: from TVEI to GNVQ
However, among these various schemes TVEI and GNVQ were the most significant of those aimed at students in full-time education and the comparative approach adopted in the paper throws light on some of the key characteristics of both programmes and assists in evaluating the effectiveness of different approaches to policy and curriculum development.
GNVQs were announced in 1991, began as a pilot scheme in 1992 and were extended nationally in 1993, they now dominate provision of full-time vocational education for 16-18 year olds.
It was ironic that I recently heard a teacher of GNVQ Business enthuse that the course was the nearest thing she had come across in secondary education to "good primary practice" when that very practice to which she aspired has been under sustained attack and blamed for many of the alleged deficiencies of primary education.

 Problematizing "empowerment" in education and work: an exploration of the GNVQ
The study took place at a stage when the GNVQ was still in its infancy and consequently many of the issues surrounding the theme of 'empowerment' were entangled with the typical sorts of difficulties, or 'teething problems' associated with the early stages of implementation of any innovation.
At one level students' new found responsibilities were consistent with the GNVQ grading criteria in that they became responsible for planning their work to meet deadlines, gathering information, writing up assignments and contributing to the evaluation of what they had done.
Throughout our GNVQ study there was evidence of the development of a variety of strategies in fabricating evidence not only of work output itself but of effectiveness in managing their own work.

 Why the GNVQ course?
Hyde Technology School is an institution that works within the challenge zone rather than restricting itself to the confines of the comfort zone, thereby earning itself the reputation of being at the forefront of major educational developments.
In 1997 business studies was added to the GNVQ part one courses and the decision taken to offer a ‘constrained option’ where all students pursued either an ICT or business course.
The decision to withdraw GNVQ part one courses and replace them with the applied GCSE was the catalyst to move towards a key stage 4 curriculum offering GNVQ ICT for all students.

 GNVQ Students Information Centre
Many people have the impression that GNVQ is a soft option compared to A-levels because there are no long exams, but judge for yourself based on the number of assignments that are needed.
Students are able to voice their opinions and together they can be put direct to GNVQ to offer alternatives.
I personally feel that GNVQ should be treated equally to that of A-levels, I would like to see more Universities stating in their requirements for courses the GNVQ qualification as well as the A-Level points.
