The main focus of a CoVE is to deliver vocational skills to meet the needs of employers on a national, regional and sectoral level.  When an area of provision achieves CoVE status it is able to develop new, and enhance specialist vocational provision.  CoVEs aim to produce appropriately qualified and skilled workers with excellent employment and career prospects which meet the needs of the economy.

The focus of this specialist provision is at level 3 which is defined as training for the skills needed for intermediate job roles ranging from craft to associate professional occupations.
