If you aren't up to date on the newest Love Island lexicon then do not fret – we've got you covered!
'Entry-Level NVQ 1' is the base level tier and stands for Islanders sharing a smooch.
'NVQ 2' was determined to be code for when couples have partaken in oral activity.
The pace of the Islanders relationships are picking up! As the couples get more serious, the villa has been getting steamier.
Now contestants have started claiming that they've 'graduated' from their NVQ studies... and the girls even threw themselves a ceremony to celebrate!

Liberty and Jake Cornish have been coupled up since day dot and even made their relationship official in episode 23.
The blonde beauty, 21, revealed to the girls that she and Jake, 24, had advanced to a 'NVQ 2' when they first coined the slang terms in week four.
Now Liberty, along with Faye, Chloe and Millie are all through with their studies...
We wonder if this season will make way for any more new villa terminology – what slang do the boys have in store for us?
