In this paper, we offer an in-dept investigation of NVQ qualifications, trying to shed some light as to why a seemingly beneficial certification of skill appears to hurt labour market prospects.

In this analysis we seek to shed light on the extent to which credit constraints may affect individuals choices to stay in full-time education past the age of 16 and to complete higher education (HE) qualifications in the United Kingdom, and on how this has varied between individuals born in 1958 and in 1970.
