All about NVQ's

What is an NVQ?

An NVQ (National Vocational Qualification) is a work-based qualification – which is carried out at a college, school, workplace or training centre.

An NVQ is a way of evidencing your knowledge and skills needed to do a job. The candidate needs to demonstrate their competency in their chosen NVQ pathway.

What are the benefits of NVQ's?

NVQ’s are a brilliant way of up-skilling, or proving your knowledge in construction.

 

Just hearing ‘NVQ’ might sound scary at first, but we’re confident anyone can achieve their level 2 with us, as we help guide and support you the whole way through.

 

There are many benefits to NVQ’s, but here’s some of our top reasons:

 

Lifetime qualification – Unlike many other qualifications, once you have a Level 2 NVQ or above, it’s with you for life! With a Level 2 NVQ you can apply for a Blue Skilled Workers CSCS card, meaning you won’t have to take a days course every 5 years!

 

Prove your practical ability to current or future employers – Prove your level of understanding to employers by moving up to a Level 2 NVQ, showing a deeper and more thorough understanding of your trade.

 

Earn while you learn – You don’t need to quit work to gain an NVQ! We’re able to gain the necessary evidences on you whilst you work, and we’re more than happy to travel to you on site to do so!

 

Gain a recognised qualification without exams – We don’t like exams either! Taking your NVQ means you get a nationally recogninsed qualification without the stress of exams, result!
