Vocational qualifications
NVQs in meteorology
Meteorological Weather Forecasting Level 4
Meteorological Observing Level 3
A National Vocational Qualification (NVQ) is a nationally recognised qualification aimed at employees who can meet national occupational standards of competence in the specific field for which the qualification is awarded — in this case meteorology.
Aims
To provide participants with the opportunity to demonstrate their competence within the workplace.
How to apply
You will need to apply to the Met Office College Assessment Centre, which will appoint a personal assessor. The assessor will help you understand the occupational standards and decide whether the evidence you have gathered demonstrates that you have met the national occupational standards.
You will need to produce evidence to show how you:
- Completed particular tasks
- Managed work activities
- Responded to contingencies within the context of your job
- Used your interpersonal skills
