STUDYING
The NVQ course is usually one year long and candidates are required to study for a minimum of 12 hours a week during term time (6 hours in the outreach centre and 6 hours in workplacement). This can be achieved at the RSR Outreach Centre. The course is covered through assignments and various practical tasks.

NVQ's are achieved through continual assessment, therefore there are no exams at the end. A portfolio is gathered through completing assignments and practical tasks.

St Vincent College has a dedicated centre at the RSR Rowner Centre in Gosport, delivering the OCR (formerly RSA) Administration NVQ (National Vocation Qualification).
The course is suitable for everyone from people who have no previous office background but wish to pursue a career in office work, to those who would like to up date existing skills.
The course costs £50 to enrol (free to those in receipt of benefit, plus assistance with childcare costs).
A dedicated computer suite containing up to date computer equipment is available to enable students to gain knowledge on various computer packages. Students are encouraged to work towards the CLAIT (Computer Literacy and Information Technology) qualification whilst on the course. There are no examinations involved with the NVQ as it is a very practical qualification and students are continually assessed against skills gained. They are guided by their tutor to produce a portfolio of evidence of competent work gained throughout the course.
Students comment that advantages of studying at the RSR include convenience of not having to travel long distances to local colleges, low course costs, studying during the day (term time only) and ongoing support from the tutor.
Many students at the RSR benefit from the excellent crèche and playgroup facilities and fit their study hours around childcare. The course runs over one academic year and students are required to study 12 hours per week.
Additional courses are also held to enhance the NVQ Administration qualification word processing and audio typing stages 1, 2 and 3, shorthand, Diploma in Bookkeeping Level 1 (manual and computerised accounts), ECDL and New CLAIT. Also computing for the complete beginner.
(*A former RSA qualification now certified by OCR (Oxford Cambridge & RSA examinations))
