Celebrating vocational achievers
A UK awarding body for the engineering, technology and related sectors has pledged its support to the nation's inaugural ‘VQ Day' to celebrate success in vocational training. EAL awards over 76% of vocational qualifications in engineering, covering National and Scottish Vocational Qualifications (N/SVQs), Vocationally Related Qualifications (VRQs) and Key/Core Skills. EAL supports candidates in a wide range of occupations, and with the first-ever VQ Day approaching, learners past and present are encouraged to join the celebrations online by signing up to a vocational qualifications ‘roll call' at www.vqday.org
