TVET N6 CV: describe your studies and workplace learning

Use the qualification you currently hold

Copy the qualification title from your certificate or official academic record. List the college and completion date. If you completed N6 but have not been awarded a National N Diploma, do not label yourself as holding that diploma. If results are outstanding, state the current status clearly rather than guessing a completion date.

The National N Diploma has requirements beyond the classroom component. The practical requirements depend on the programme and route. Ask your college to confirm the workplace-learning, evidence and application requirements that apply to you; do not rely on a generic duration mentioned in a CV example.

Example education entry

This is a fictional example. Use the exact qualification and subjects on your own record. List earlier N4/N5 achievements separately if they help explain your studies, rather than presenting three certificates as an already awarded diploma.

Profile for a workplace-learning application

N6 Management Assistant certificate holder seeking a relevant workplace-learning opportunity. Practised document preparation and spreadsheet tasks during college coursework. Interested in developing practical office-administration skills under supervision.

Adapt this only if it accurately describes your qualification and aims. A placement application and a permanent-job application may need different emphasis. State the type of opportunity you want, but avoid claiming that any placement automatically satisfies your college’s requirements.

Separate coursework from employment

A practical assignment belongs under Projects, Practical coursework or a clearly labelled education entry. An example, if true, could be: “Formatted a business letter and checked layout against the assignment brief.” It should not become “Office Administrator” under Employment when it was a simulated college task.

If you have workplace experience, list the organisation, role or placement title, dates and actual duties. Explain what you did under supervision. If the placement is in progress, say so. Keep supporting records outside the CV and follow your college’s evidence process.

What to check before applying

• Does the advertised placement accept your qualification or field?
• Have you used the exact qualification name and current status?
• Are dates for studies, placements and employment consistent?
• Can you explain or demonstrate every listed practical skill?
• Have you followed the employer’s document and submission instructions?
