What is VQ Day?

VQ Day is a National celebration of vocational qualifications for students, teachers and employers. It shines a light on and recognises the millions of talented and skilled people throughout the UK who are awarded VQs.

It was launched in 2008 to raise the status of practical and vocational learning and celebrate vocational achievement. The 6th annual VQ Day takes place on Wednesday 5th June 2013.
