The Level 3 NVQ in Communication Technologies (Work Quality Audit) is designed for digital technology practitioners. It validates the ability to audit the quality and safety of work, both in progress and completed. It also covers using computer interfaces and contributing to efficiency.
These are the units Pearson Education Ltd registers against this qualification. It is a catalogue, not a syllabus. Which of them you take depends on the combination the qualification requires, and that is set by the awarding body rather than by us. Every unit here is regulated. Zavmo teaches towards them on your own work.
Zavmo is not an awarding body, is not an approved centre, and is not affiliated with Pearson Education Ltd. It does the teaching and the mapping. Pearson Education Ltd sets this qualification and awards it, and a qualified human assessor makes the assessment decision.
