National Vocational Qualification

National Vocational Qualification – What you need to know!

The Small Business Association of Barbados, as a certified centre through the TVET Council, administers (4) four occupational standards. A new  category, Small Business Entrepreneurship Level 2,  will soon be added to the range of  existing National Vocational Qualifications for the centre.

Listed below are the NVQs administered:

  • E-Commerce Level 2
