“…Cependant, ces métiers sont exclus des compilations servant à construire les indicateurs qui servent de barèmes aux indicateurs sur la haute qualifi cation. La mise en place de dispositifs nationaux de qualifi cation tels que les National vocational qualifi cations (NVQ) au Royaume-Uni (Grugulis, 2000) vise justement à donner une seconde chance à ces exclus de la haute qualifi cation « offi cielle », délaissés parce que « hors technologies » ou « hors diplômes postsecondaires ».…”

Le discours sur les technologies de l’information et la haute technologie contribue à fonder une définition de la haute qualification qui néglige plusieurs dimensions et champs de qualifications, excluant plusieurs métiers où l’on retrouve des travailleurs hautement qualifiés. Ainsi, cette définition ignore les différentes structurations et dynamiques des univers de travail et fait abstraction des problèmes reliés à la notion de qualification, mais ignore également les processus sociaux et culturels qui contribuent à la définir. Des données ethnographiques tirées d’un travail de terrain permettent de tracer les repères d’une nouvelle définition de la haute qualification, davantage arrimée aux contextes de travail.

“…In part this is because, as Raggatt and Williams (1999) pointed out, these qualifications were successfully resisted by professional bodies, but it is also because NVQs are not designed in a way that effectively supports skill development and that problem is most glaringly apparent at higher levels (Grugulis, 2000). NVQs are concerned only with assessment and auditing behaviours (Fletcher, 1991).…”

“…The management standards portray management as generalisable and value free and thus ignore the contingent nature of management and the political nature of organisations (Loan-Clarke, 1996;Grugulis, 2000). The content of standards fosters a 'suffocating' assessment experience 'devoid of critical engagement with the social and political issues which determine much professional activity' (Ecclestone, 1997, p. 77).…”

Structural barriers to the take-up of higher level NVQs

This article explores perceptions of barriers to the take-up of higher level NVQs (levels 4/5). The literature on higher NVQ adoption is reviewed together with uptake statistics. Research involving interviews and case studies showed that the most successful higher NVQs are linked to professional qualifying routes, have generic application across a range of sectors or fill gaps where qualifications were not previously established. Higher NVQs suffer from credibility problems and variable delivery quality partly accounts for a tarnished image. Support for occupational standards is strong, but their design is not generally suited to higher qualifications. Awarding bodies need to assess the learning experience on award programmes more closely. Funding mechanisms disadvantage higher NVQs particularly in the university sector. NVQs are perceived to be relatively costly; however, there is little data available to enable objective comparison. Suggestions for overcoming these barriers are offered.
