Are you leaving the Services and looking for a second career or part-time employment that capitalises on your managerial skills and the extensive experience gained during your time in the Forces? Keen to take control and to have the freedom to manage your working life? Then why not become a freelance NVQ assessor?

 

Even in times of economic uncertainty, there is huge demand for high-calibre, well-trained NVQ assessors. So, what do you need to become an effective NVQ assessor?

 

Successful NVQ assessors possess strong organisational and interpersonal skills, the ability to work unsupervised and are ‘self-starters’. Formal qualifications, while useful, are not essential – it is your Service experience and training that will enable you to meet the standards required to become assessors in leadership and management qualifications.

 

The Ultimate Performance Business Solutions Ltd (UPBS) NVQ Assessor Course provides the much sought-after A1/A2 Assessor qualification in the shortest of timescales. Delivered by instructors who are ex-military and current NVQ assessors, it offers a comprehensive insight for anyone thinking of self-employment as a freelance NVQ assessor. Uniquely, the course also provides delegates with the opportunity to register on the assessor database of the largest national NVQ provider of assessors. For those seeking a well-paid, flexible and rewarding second career, the UPBS A1/A2 NVQ Assessor Course – which can be paid for using your ELC or resettlement grant – could provide just the opportunity you have been looking for.

An exciting opportunity to help you to develop a new career! In these difficult economic times, jobs are less plentiful, and competition for those posts that are available is fiercer than ever. While the Forces have an enviable training record, and have prepared generations of Service personnel for a range of careers in terms of skills development, the majority of Service leavers are still commercially naive and require additional support in securing the type and level of posts that are right for them.

 

Well-trained and experienced personnel are continually joining the job market at the same time as you. This can place you in a position where you feel you can do the job but sometimes fail to convince the interviewer accordingly. While employers will value your proven leadership and management skills, they will also recognise the importance of a formal qualification in these areas – it certainly helps when your application is sitting among many others in an HR department and those on the selection panel do not know you personally. Marr LLP and the University of Worcester Business School (see the advertisement on page 5) are working together to introduce Service leavers to the benefits of having a leadership and management qualification on their CV. Possession of such a qualification signals that ‘you mean business’ and understand it, and will therefore be an asset to any organisation. In addition, more people are showing the confidence to start their own business, and need the support of a highly practical and academically proven course to make their business more successful.

 

The University of Worcester has developed and delivers an excellent industryrecognised programme that we call Leading to Excellence. It is designed to meet your needs, and brings you up to date with current thinking in key business areas, including marketing, business strategy, finance (for non-financial managers) and, of course, leadership. We would be delighted to hear from you (see contact details below) to find out how we can help you to help yourself! Alternatively, come to our open day on 21 July 2009.
