Level 3, 4 and 5 NVQ in Management
Management NVQs are aimed at people in management roles across all occupations and sectors of employment.
The Management level 3 qualification is broadly aimed at those who are responsible for the control of activities and work output of a team who have the ability and the opportunity to demonstrate recognisable management and leadership skills, for example, providing leadership, planning and implementing change, managing a budget, managing a project.
To achieve the full award, candidates must complete seven units, including four mandatory units and three optional units. Candidates choose the optional units which best suit their work situation and job role.
The Management level 4 qualification is aimed at individuals with more personal responsibility and autonomy in their management role than at level 3, who have the ability and the opportunity to demonstrate recognisable management and leadership skills, for example managing business processes, developing and implementing operational plans, leading, planning and implementing change, managing finance, providing learning opportunities. Individuals may find that the focus of their work is more to do with managing projects, or with technical matters, than with people.

The Management level 5 qualification is intended for managers who are responsible for the control of activities and work output of other managers, who have the ability and the opportunity to demonstrate recognisable management and leadership skills, for example improving organisational performance, providing leadership, encouraging innovation, developing a strategic business plan, managing risk, planning the workforce managing a programme of complementary projects.

Like all NVQs this qualification is competence based. This means that it is linked to the candidate's ability to competently perform a range of tasks connected with their work. Candidates plan a programme of development and assessment with their assessor and compile a portfolio of evidence to prove that they are competent and knowledgeable in their work role.
