NVQ’s

NVQ Training

NVQ training (National Vocational Qualification) is a work-based qualification which recognises the skills and knowledge a person needs to do a job. The candidate needs to demonstrate and prove their competency within their chosen role or career path and have at least 6 months experience.

Turn Your Red Card To Blue.

Gaining the relevant S/NVQ will allow you to progress through the CPCS and NPORS/CSCS scheme. Enabling candidates to replace “Red Trained Operator card” with the “Blue Competent Operator card”. However, this needs to be carried out within the 2 year life of the card.

As an approved centre, Vally Plant Training are able to offer the S/NVQ qualifications in Plant operations level 2, site supervisor level 3 and the management of lifting operations level 5. Furthermore, we are also an SQA National Qualification approved centre.

The timescale required to complete the S/NVQ varies from 1 day to 10 weeks, during which time you will have the time to gather the relevant evidence required to achieve the relevant S/NVQ.

Routes

  • Observation of performance by Vally Plant Training’s assessor in your workplace
