NVQs are also beneficial to employers as it helps them to develop and retain a trained, skilled workforce.
Some NVQs may provide eligibility to membership for professional organisations such as the Chartered Institute of Builders (CIOB) and the Chartered Association of Building Engineers (CABE) as well as Gold or Black CSCS cards; a level 2 NVQ (Plant Operations) is also required to upgrade from a red to a blue CPCS card.

Don’t miss a days pay by being assessed for an NVQ level on site, as you work. We send out an assessor to observe and ask questions during a typical day, and you will be judged on your knowledge, performance and experience. Alternatively,we can remotely assess you; this shall involve you sending in video recordings of your work*.
Earning NVQ levels is really about knowing how to do job well and safely. Especially at the lower levels, as little as three years on the job experience is often enough to qualify you.
As you get up to the higher levels, study and revision at home of an evening becomes more and more important.
Our construction, training and NVQ experts will be happy to meet with you at our office or online to discuss your NVQ needs and advise you on any aspects you feel you might need help with.
Much of that is up to you. We have the assessor visit you at work between 2 and five times, on dates arranged at your (and your work’s) convenience; alternatively, the visit can be remotely conducted. Lower level NVQs typically require very few visits, whereas higher levels will require more. The whole process typically takes ten weeks or less.

Possibly. If you possess the necessary training and experience to pass a higher level evaluation, you can be be assessed for any NVQ level initially, and then progress from there.
If you do not achieve the required credits to complete the NVQ, you will not be awarded one.

We will be available to help you identify any weak points, and to help you address them.
