James you can get an NVQ in just about everything, I think I have one in combat infantryman
but in all seriousness my ex employee has one all funded and paid for by my local council, I couldn't do it as they wanted £1200 for me to do it
It took months for him to get it and a few on site visits from an assessor,
Although I see from posts on here you can get it from a few days in a classroom.
That said the ex employee is still unemployed as far as I know, and on paper he is more qualified than me,
