NVQ Level 3 Health and Social Care  
&  SVQ Level 3 Health and Social Care
Those who are being assessed for the substance misuse modules of the NVQ Level 3 Health and Social Care, will have to provide evidence that they have the correct levels of knowledge for their chosen modules. The NVQ assessor will therefore look for relevant training at the required level.

The Certificate in Responding to Substance Misuse training course by People in Vision is accredited at Level 3 by ASET and covers a wide range of substance misuse issues, aimed at the professionals working in this field. This course is therefore an excellent means of acquiring comprehensive necessary knowledge at the right level for the various substance misuse modules of the NVQ or SVQ, resulting in a nationally accredited certificate as evidence.

The Certificate in Responding to Substance Misuse training offers you:

DANOS mapped training
Accreditation at Level 3
Evidence of 'underpinning knowledge' for NVQ or SVQ assessments  
Flexible 'correspondence option' available nationwide (and abroad)

However, to avoid misunderstanding, we would like to mention that the NVQ or SVQ assessment is a separate process of assessing professional skills, which will have to take place in the candidate's work environment. With this certificate you can be confident that you can show sufficient evidence of the required  'underpinning knowledge' for your chosen modules. See below for further details of this particular training programme.
