AIMVOCs

AIMVOCs are designed to enable learners to access vocational qualifications from Entry Level 1 through to Level 2, depending on their level of learning. They can also complete varying sizes of qualification at each level, from Award through to Diploma. Being able to build up achievement in incremental stages can help support intrinsic motivation for learners, and support character education.

All AIMVOCs provide easy progression towards T Levels and apprenticeships.
