NVQ Construction Courses

Choose from our range of NVQ courses available to book online today with Easybook Training

NVQs (National Vocational Qualifications) are work-based qualifications designed to assess and certify your competence in a specific job role. Unlike traditional academic qualifications, NVQs focus on practical skills and knowledge rather than theory, and are achieved through a combination of workplace assessments and observations, exams and portfolio building. Not all NVQs include exams.

They are awarded by City & Guilds, the global skills development leader, and are industry recognised qualifications, which puts them in high demand. Many companies ask for City & Guilds qualifications when employing new staff, and the construction industry in particular value NVQs.

There are seven NVQ levels, ranging from Level 1 (entry-level) to Level 7 (strategic leadership). Each level builds on the knowledge and skills learned at the previous level, gradually increasing your expertise and responsibility within your industry. Easybook Training offers a wide-range of construction NVQ courses through our supplier network, with NVQ courses at levels 2, 3, 4, 6 and 7. These NVQ courses can be completed remotely via Zoom with the assessor present, so no need to be away from site. And you don't need to wait for a course to become available in your area either.
