The levels begin with Level 1.To achieve this level of NVG basic knowledge of varied activities related to work are assessed. Most of the assessment involves knowledge of basic activities that are predictable and rather routine.
Level 2
At this level the worker is expected to know more specific and significant range of work related activities that are performance driven in several different context. In some cases this Level requires that membership to a professional organisation or work group or team.
Level 3
This level is achieved when the worker has the ability to work in a full range of work activities that are complex and non routine. At this level typically it is required that there is a large amount of responsibility in the position, supervision of others or working completely unsupervised.
Level 4
At level 4 the worker has to be able to display a large amount of knowledge in a full range of technical, professional and complex work related activities. There has to be a large amount of responsibility, supervision of others, the division of resources and complete autonomy has to be displayed as well.

Level 6 ,7,8 (specifically for year 10 students)
These levels apply specifically for year 10 students and are awarded accordingly:
Level 6 is awarded 1 to 12 units. Certificates are 12 to 36 units or Diploma 37. This is just about equivalent to a Baccaulerate degree.
Level 7 is awarded the same units as Level 6 and the same Diploma 37 but it is equal to a Graduate level degree.
Level 8 is also awarded the same number of units as 6 and 7 and the same Diploma but is equal to a Doctorate. Unlike Doctoral degrees in other subjects that require written work and research the NVQ does not require this type of curriculum however because it does not require the same type of course work it does not have the same merit as most other Doctoral degrees do.
