Star Units are an exciting new development linked to Scottish and National Vocational Qualifications (S/NVQs). They have been introduced so that learners and trainees who are talented and motivated to produce a higher quality of work in the workplace have a chance to be recognised formally.
A growing number of S/NVQs now offer the opportunity for candidates to be assessed against specific criteria and achieve a Star Unit. The benefits of such a form of recognition are potentially enormous for employers and recruiters, teachers and trainers, as well as for the candidates themselves.
Star Units are the way forward for people who want to excel at work and offer a means of unlocking talent as the basis for successful careers. They provide a model and standard that all S/NVQ candidates can recognise and aspire towards without any additional work or assessment.
