Invest in your workforce with clear industry training and development pathways 

How do you know if your team is ready for NVQ level 2?  

If your team members have gained all their experience on-the-job so far how do you know when they’re ready to enrol in their construction NVQ? 

They could be the best in their job and still come up against issues when it comes to completing it. The NVQ has clear standards that need to be evidenced through on-site work and assessments.  

What often isn’t taken into account is that while learning on-the-job provides real experience, by the nature of the work, there can be gaps in knowledge, technique and health & safety. This might be simply because they've had limited exposure to the broad scope of work that’s covered in the assessment units and occupational standards, even if they’ve been doing the job for years. On-site builds speed, experience and familiarity, but it can lack depth in technical and regulatory knowledge, and it’s easy to get into bad habits.  

  • Does your worker have extensive and varied experience?  
  • Do they have a strong understanding of current industry standards and health & safety?  
  • Can they demonstrate the required depth of expertise?  

NVQ Level 2 construction training explained

Choosing an NVQ level 2 construction training course means that everyone on your team has the opportunity to gain the underpinning knowledge not only to do their work well, but to be well prepared to achieve their NVQ.  

They’ll gain an industry-recognised certificate; a level 2 certificate from City & Guilds is a badge of professionalism in construction trades. They’ll begin to work to industry standards and regulations as a matter of course. This means you’ll know that your company works efficiently to a high standard and to a high degree of technical competence, and everyone does it safely.  

Key benefits of NVQ-ready training for construction teams: 

  • Standardised levels of competence across the team 
  • Faster NVQ completion 
  • Fewer assessor visits 
  • Industry-recognised qualifications 
  • Good working habits and standards 
  • A clear progression pathway 
  • Increased technical understanding  
  • Preparedness for the NVQ
