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 NQual 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 NQual awards. A qualified assessor at the centre judges your evidence, and the certificate comes from NQual.

01What it is

Looking for an Awarding Organisation? Look no further. NQual certify a range of high-quality qualifications that are designed with the future in mind. Browse our full suite today!.

These are the units NQual 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, and work done here is recognised as prior learning under the agreements we hold.

Zavmo is not an awarding body, is not an approved centre, and is not affiliated with NQual. It does the teaching and the mapping. NQual sets this qualification and awards it, and a qualified human assessor makes the assessment decision.

05The credits

The credits, and who awards them

Level 5 credits are regulated, and they are awarded by NQual rather than by Zavmo. They don’t vanish when a subscription ends or a website closes. They travel to any employer, and Zavmo keeps the map of what you have covered and what is next.

What you would be collecting

Managing performancePrinciples of delivering coaching and mentoringPrinciples of leadership and management

Each one is a real unit registered against this qualification.

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 Coach The Coach · your practice partner Illustration
The Coach You have to tell the team what “Managing performance” means for them next month. Say it to me now, the way you would say it to them.
You The new process goes live on the 3rd and full training will be provided.
The Coach That is the announcement. Now try the one that starts with the bit they are going to hate, and we will see which you would rather receive.
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.
  • Lead it Apply

    “Managing performance” 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.
