Hi thank you for reading my post.
I have a little troubling situation.
I have a job interview linned up, however first they need to know if my NVQ level 3 and 4 in Beauty Therapy is Valid here in Italy. Also they would like to know what an NVQ diploma would translate to in the Italian qualifications.

If anyone could help i would really appriciate it..
thank you so much,
Lucy

you should go to a centro di formazione professionale like this one: and ask a teacher there. (go to more than one - and ask to speak to an english teacher. compare your syllabus with the school's)

your qualifications should be valid and might be equivalent to a diploma professionale di tecnico which students attain at a CFP when they are 18/19 years old. but check for yourself!

good luck.
