How you’d get it

How you’d get this certificate

  1. Zavmo teaches you. You learn the units one-to-one with an AI tutor, on your own work.
  2. You register with an approved centre. That is a college, training provider or employer Summit Qualifications UK has approved to offer this qualification. Zavmo is not an approved centre, so you register with them, not with us.
  3. The centre assesses, and Summit Qualifications UK awards. A qualified assessor at the centre judges your evidence, and the certificate comes from Summit Qualifications UK.

More on studying for a qualification

01What it is

Unlock your potential in the recruitment sector with the Level 3 NVQ Diploma in Recruitment. Learn how to attract, match, and present candidates effectively. Ideal for trainee consultants and aspiring professionals.

These are the units Summit Qualifications UK 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 Summit Qualifications UK. It does the teaching and the mapping. Summit Qualifications UK sets this qualification and awards it, and a qualified human assessor makes the assessment decision.

How you’d practise it

You don’t watch this. You do it.

You are not assessed on remembering this. You are assessed on applying it, analysing it, evaluating it and producing something. So that is what the practice is: projects, role play and your own live cases, with a tutor in the room.

The same lesson on the real thing: the conversation in the middle, the thinking ladder on the left, and the criteria each answer is evidencing on the right.
  • Pitch it Evaluate

    “Recruitment Agency Sales & Business Development” gets practised as a pitch. You make the case out loud, Zavmo asks the question the room would ask, and you make it again.

  • Lead it Apply

    “In-House Recruitment Practices” is practised on the team you actually have. You talk through the call you are about to make, and Zavmo makes you say it the way you would say it to them.

How you would learn this

One to one, on the work you already do

A tutor sets the task against your own job and marks the reasoning, at your pace. There is no cohort to fall behind.
