Plant NVQ's - National Vocational Qualifications (Plant)
We offer a comprehensive service and in addition to CPCS and NPORS Technical Tests, Site Safety Plus Courses we also provide plant operations NVQ's.
NVQ's allow candidates to upgrade from a Trained Operator Card to the Competent Operator card, further cementing their experience and acting as evidence of 'occupational competence'
There is currently only one route of entry for Plant Operations NVQ’s - the OSAT 'On Site Assessment And Training' route.
The On-Site Assessment route is perfect for anyone working in the construction industry who needs to gain a 'National Vocational Qualification' Whilst candidates are on site at their place of work they will be visited by one of our assessors who will support them through each part of the qualification process, guiding them on how to build their portfolio and observing them on their day to day working duties.
The process:
Induction onto the individual qualification
Discuss job knowledge questions and work based evidence required for NVQ portfolio
Practical observation (plant or occupation specific)
Work based video’s
Professional discussion
​
Evidence must be obtained by using ALL of the following:
1. Observation of performance / competence by the assessor
2. Witness testimony or testimonies by an expert witness
3. Professional discussion
