How much does an NVQ cost?

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.
