In Short
National Vocational Qualifications (NVQs) are the most widely recognised qualifications in the Construction Industry and they are the standard that all workers must achieve. These vocational qualifications form the basis of card holder schemes such as CSCS (Construction Skills Certification Scheme) card. These cards are a necessity for getting work in the Industry and being able to work on-site. This course is aimed at people employed within the Construction Industry with Site Carpentry experience and who are currently on Site and want to achieve an NVQ qualification without attending College in order to obtain a BLUE C.S.C.S. card. IF YOU DON’T HAVE THE RIGHT CARD, YOU MAY NOT BE ALLOWED TO WORK ON-SITE.
