About philosVQ
Guiding Professional Growth through real workplace practice
philosVQ is an approved SVQ Centre delivering SVQ Level 2 and SVQ Level 3 Social Services & Healthcare across Scotland.
SVQs are workplace-based qualifications. That means assessment should make effective use of the work candidates already carry out and the naturally occurring opportunities available within their role.
Rather than focusing on evidence collection for its own sake, philosVQ aims to make assessment clear, purposeful and connected to real working life.
Our approach
Real practice. Clear assessment. Meaningful development.
Our approach is built around a simple principle: assessment should recognise what practitioners actually do, the knowledge and judgement that underpin their practice, and the professional growth that develops throughout the qualification.
At philosVQ assessment is buit around:
Candidates are encouraged to explain not only what they do, but also why they do it, how they make decisions and how their practice supports positive outcomes for the people they support.
