QUALIFYING THE

EXISITING

WORKFORCE

2014-2016

Funded by DEL’s Customised Training

Fund

FREE NVQ LEVEL 2 QUALIFICATIONS FOR EXPERIENCED CONSTRUCTION WORKERS AVAILABLE NOW! What occupations are available? Qualifications are available in 45 occupational areas including plant, carpentry & joinery, road building, bricklaying and many more (for a full list see index page). What is involved? The qualifications can be done with minimal time off site and involve no classroom based work – an assessor assesses your skills by observing your day-to-day work, or you can do a practical assessment, and you may also have to talk about your work experience and skills with an assessor. Am I eligible? The qualifications are available to all experienced, employed or self-employed construction workers and neither you nor your employer / company need to be registered with CITB-ConstructionSkills NI *. Do I have to pay anything? No – there is no cost for registration or for the assessment **. Why should I get a qualification? For an individual: A qualification provides evidence of your skills and experience and could make you more employable locally, in GB or further afield. For an employer: A qualified workforce shows that your company is working to a standard, it can improve performance and safety and may make winning work easier, especially if you are competing for work outside Northern Ireland.

What do I do now Application is simple – contact the relevant assessment centre on the information sheets within this document and they will do the rest. *** Terms & Conditions: * You must live and work in NI and you must not already hold an NVQ qualification. ** There is no upfront cost – the full cost of the assessment is covered by the scheme and you won’t have to

pay anything unless you need additional training which is at the employer’s or individual’s expense, though may be grant aided by CITB-ConstructionSkills NI for registered employers. ***Assessment centres are only authorised to deliver NVQs in the occupations, counties and routes

specified.

Assessment Methods

There are three routes available for qualification including:

Portfolio Building On Site Assessment Experienced Worker

What does assessment by these routes involve?

Portfolio building:

Candidates build a portfolio of evidence from a range of sources e.g. testimonials from supervisors, written statements etc. The average time taken to complete is 6 months.

On site assessment (OSAT):

An assessor visits the candidate on site 3 or 4 times over a period of approximately 3 – 6 months. This method recognises existing competences and little training should be required if candidates are experienced.

Experienced worker (EWPA):

This method is only available for limited number of trades. Extensive experience is required and there should be no training at all required. It involves a discussion with an assessor (called a professional discussion) and a practical assessment which covers all the skills required by the NVQ.
