Quality Vocational Skills Empowerment
A registered National Skills Qualification (NSQ) awarding organisation, approved and regulated by the National Board for Technical Education (NBTE).
Nine approved centres, seven states, one standard
Our approved training centres deliver QVSE qualifications in line with the Nigerian Skills Qualifications Framework, and we quality-assure every one of them.
Built on National Occupational Standards
Every qualification is developed from standards defined by Sector Skills Councils and approved by NBTE, at NSQ levels 1 to 6.
Register, train, get assessed, get certified
Your centre registers you with QVSE, delivers the training and applies for certification once your assessor confirms you are competent.
