VQ Day is a national celebration of vocational qualifications for students, teachers and employers.  Launched in 2008, VQ Day aims to raise the status of technical. practical and vocational learning and celebrate vocational achievement.
 
High quality vocational qualifications (VQs) are essential to UK society, providing young people with the skills, experience, motivation and inspiration to get ahead.  In this tough economic climate it's essential to recognise that there are many paths to success and appreciate the value that vocational qualifications bring to learners, businesses and wider society.  Only with appropriately skilled and trained people can we drive forward the UK economy.

The fifth annual VQ Day on Wednesday 20 June 2012 at Bafta Piccadilly will recognise the value of vocational qualifications and celebrate vocational achievement.

National celebration events and award ceremonies in England, Wales and Northern Ireland will champion practical, vocational and technical courses - and those who undertake them - at the very highest level. 

Meanwhile, hundreds of regional events run by colleges, learning providers, schools and employers around the UK will showcase best practice.

VQ Day is led by the Edge Foundation in conjunction with the vocational qualifications community.
