How long does it take?
Although there are no set timetables for obtaining an NVQ in Management Level 4, most managers take between 9 months and 18 months. However, it is a good idea to agree an assessment plan with your adviser and assessor - this will provide you with a target to achieve and some milestones against which you can measure your progress. Changes in your work or personal circumstances can always be accommodated by re-negotiating this plan.
