NVQ/ SVQ Level 4 in Meat Processing Management (Technical and Production) is appropriate for people who wish to progress in the retail industry.

At Level 3, there will be six different pathways to the NVQ or SVQ, again with the selected pathway recognised in the title of the qualification.

Five-year plan: I will continue with level four of the SVQ in January.

The one -year opportunity gave them a chance to develop their knowledge and gain experience in the workplace and work towards a SVQ level 2 qualification in business and administration, delivered in partnership with ForthValley College.

I asked the staff to put me through an SVQ and I took to it straight away.

Over twenty-five people at the company's Broxburn site have gained accreditation in courses ranging from SVQ's in manufacturing, to REHS awards for food hygiene, and to celebrate the achievements, they were presented with their certificates by the managing director of Quality Meat Scotland, at a ceremony held on the premises.

Alternatively, ask your local college about an NVQ or SVQ in these skills.

HRM Homecare will provide a full induction and training programme to new recruits and will offer SVQ qualifications.
