National Vocational Qualifications (NVQ’s) – CSCS, CPCS & NPORS cards
The Plant Operations NVQ - the OSAT ‘On Site Assessment and Training’ only currently has one entry route.
These qualifications are designed for anyone working in the construction industry who needs to gain an ‘National Vocational Qualification’ (NVQ). They are designed to build the knowledge and skills needed based on national occupational standards. The NVQ standards are declarations of performance that describe what competent people in a particular occupation are expected to be able to do, they ensure best practice and safety requirements are met through both occupational practice, knowledge and understanding.
We aim to minimise disruption to the learner and your business: the whole process is delivered on site. NVQ’s are evidence based, each learner will be allocated an assessor who will support them through the whole process, they will advise on how to collate job knowledge and plan to observe them, on site, during their daily activities, and support them in building their portfolio. This process is learner-lead and subject to evidence being provided.
- Learners are provided with a full induction to the qualification
- Learners will be observed on the specific plant / occupational area
- Learners are required to hold a professional discussion with their appointed assessor
- Learners are required to retrieve a witness testimony, from their workplace manager
