Do I need to attend college to get my NVQ?

No. On Site Skills Ltd provides on-site NVQ assessment. An assessor visits you on your live site, so you do not need to attend college.

What NVQ levels do you offer?

We offer NVQ Levels 1 to 6 across construction trades including drylining, tiling, plastering, painting and decorating, floor laying, carpentry, bricklaying, cladding, site supervision and site management.

How much does an NVQ cost?

Most NVQ qualifications start from £550 depending on the trade and level. Contact us with your details and we will confirm the exact price for your NVQ.

Can you help me get a CSCS card?

Yes. After completing your NVQ with On Site Skills Ltd, you can use your qualification to apply for the correct CSCS card for your trade and level.

Do I need experience before starting an NVQ?

Yes. NVQs are for experienced workers who are already doing the job on site so your assessor can observe you and collect evidence of your normal work.

How long does an NVQ take?

Most NVQs take around 4–12 weeks to complete, depending on the trade, the level, how quickly you provide evidence and assessor availability.
