ProQual Level 6 NVQ Diploma - RRC's Process

RRC has taken a different approach to assessment that makes the process clearer and more straightforward for you and your assessor. When you start your course, you will be provided with the marking criteria for assessments, as well as expanded learner notes for each unit which removes ambiguity around what you need to do to successfully complete the unit.

All assessments and evidence are submitted to RRC’s online learning platform. This will be a combination of:

Work-based assessment - set tasks to be completed and supported by work-based evidence
Reflective tasks - Reflections to show how you have developed from experiences at work and how your competence has improved
Knowledge competence check - a series of questions to validate your knowledge

There will also be 2 professional discussions with your assessor to review your progress and further evaluate your competence. These will take place after you have completed the 5th and 10th units.

For each module, once all your assessments and evidence has been submitted, your assessor will mark your uploaded documents and evidence against the same marking criteria you have been provided. If there are areas where you haven’t quite met the criteria, your assessor will highlight which parts of the criteria have not been met so that you can easily update and resubmit.

ProQual Level 6 NVQ Diploma FAQs

Do I need to complete the NVQ Certificate before the Diploma?

It is not essential that you complete the Certificate first. However, you need to be working in a health and safety role that will enable you to gather the evidence needed for your portfolio.

Can I complete the NVQ Diploma if I am not in the UK?

The NVQ Diploma is available worldwide.

How do I know if the ProQual NVQ Level 6 Diploma is right for me?

To enrol on the RRC Proqual NVQ Level 6 Diploma you will need to complete initial assessment and SkillScan forms before we can accept you onto the course. The questions are framed around the learners work experience, helping us decide whether an NVQ is suitable for the learner. This will also help the learner identify any skills gaps, sections where they might have difficulty and the best areas to start their evidence gathering.

If it is determined that you are not in a position to succeed at an NVQ, RRC will let you know and offer alternatives. You will not be charged for the course until the self-assessment has been completed and it is confirmed you will be able to complete the course.

Will I be charged if RRC believes the NVQ Diploma is not right for me?

No, RRC will only charge you for the course once we have confirmed you are in a position to be successful based on your initial assessment and SkillScan forms.

How long does it take to complete the ProQual NVQ Level 6 Diploma?

You can start the course at any time and typically takes 6-24 months to complete.

What is the difference between the NEBOSH Diploma and Proqual Level 6 NVQ Diploma?

The Proqual Level 6 NVQ Diploma is a vocational qualification which gives you the opportunity to develop and demonstrate skills through your workplace while also extending your knowledge of Health and Safety. The course builds on a background of Health and Safety experience, creating a stronger understanding and further expanding your application of procedures and best practice.

Unlike the NEBOSH Diploma, which is assessed through a formal assessment at the end of each unit, the ProQual Level 6 NVQ Diploma is evidence-based. Evidence is reviewed throughout to determine you are meeting the skills, knowledge and understanding required for each unit.
