There is no set time limit by which you have to complete your NVQ at any level, however funding does have a standard length of stay. It will depend to some extent on your experience with horses or other animals before you begin, as to how long it will take you to complete. For example, for a Level 2 in Horse Care, following on from a Level 1, there is a general expectation that you should be able to complete your qualification within 12 months of registration.
