Turn your on-site carpentry and joinery experience into a formally recognised qualification, assessed on real work you carry out.
This NVQ is assessed through your day-to-day work on site — an assessor observes and reviews evidence of your carpentry and joinery skills against national occupational standards, rather than through classroom exams. It's the standard route to formal recognition for tradespeople already working in the industry.
First and second fix carpentry, door and window installation, use of hand and power tools, timber selection and preparation, health and safety practice, and working to specification on live projects.
Carpenters and joiners with practical experience who want a recognised NVQ — often needed for CSCS card applications and larger contracts.
