This qualification supports the learner to attain enabling, fundamental and transferable practical skills with associated underpinning knowledge. The learner will learn key practical skills and knowledge in these mandatory units:

NVQ Requirements
- You must be working on site
- You must have access to the machine required to complete the required assessment criteria during the observation
The NVQ its self, will take 1 full day to complete. In the morning, you will be required to complete the written element of the NVQ and then, in the afternoon the assessor will observe you working on site. We will also require an employer’s endorsement from either a site supervisor or manager as evidence to add to your portfolio.
After you have completed both elements to the NVQ, your portfolio is required to be internally verified. Once verified, providing there isn’t any missing evidence, additional site visits required or changes which need to be made – your portfolio will be claimed as achieved. We will then await your certificates. Once we have received your certificates, on behalf of you, we will apply for your blue card providing you have an in date, valid health and safety touch screen test. Please allow 7-10 working days to receive both, your card and certificate once the NVQ has been claimed as achieved.
