Understanding the NVQ Qualifications
The following is a brief description of the course you are about to start and its relevance in the construction industry.
As from the 31st December 2007, City and Guilds qualifications for any construction trade become no longer valid on site. This was an agreement between the joint awarding bodies, CITB & City and Guilds.
This joint awarding body has now been re-branded and is known as The Construction Awards Alliance (CAA). It is an alliance between Construction Skills and City and Guilds. The aim of the CAA is to qualify all students to NVQ level 2 the recognised industry standard.
What this means for you is that following your APC course, you will have to be assessed on site ie: a workplace environment to gain the full NVQ level 2.
This will also include the CSCS Health and Safety test. Once this has been completed, you will receive your CSCS card which will show your qualification and the date you where H&S tested. This will then allow you to work on any construction site within the U.K.
We hope this helps you understand a bit more about NVQ and what is required to gain this qualification. If however you need further clarification on this, please do not hesitate to contact the awarding body at www.caaalliance.co.uk
