How to become a residential home manager?

Question

How can i become a residential home manager?
My manager is 27yrs and has no nvq what so ever!!? Is doing a nvq now.
It is a family run home so i think thats why :(
What do i need to study or do to get a managers job in a care home ( eldely or support)
