Level 2 NVQ in Cold Frame Steel Installation
£700.00
Looking for the NVQ Level 2 in Steel Erecting?
The industry has evolved, and the traditional Level 2 NVQ in Steel Erecting has been replaced by the ProQual Level 2 NVQ Diploma in Construction using Off-site Manufactured Assemblies. This modern qualification is now the standard for demonstrating occupational competence in the workplace for those working with steel structures.
Why this is the right qualification for you
While the title focuses on “Off-site Manufactured Assemblies,” this qualification is specifically designed for professionals involved in the assembly and erection of steel frames. It is the ideal replacement because:
- It covers Structural Steel: You might see “Cold Formed Steel Frame” in the pathways, but the qualification explicitly includes traditional structural steel elements. The mandatory unit M/617/1436 requires you to demonstrate your ability to erect hot rolled columns and beams in the workplace.
- Comprehensive Skill Assessment: You will be assessed on your knowledge of the characteristics and defects of structural components, including ring beams, lattice beams, and floor/roof structures.
- No Formal Entry Requirements: There are no prerequisites to begin this qualification, making it accessible to anyone currently working in the sector.
- Workplace-Based Learning: This is a competence-based qualification, meaning you don’t need to sit in a classroom. Assessment takes place in your real work environment. You simply build a portfolio of evidence—such as assessor observations and witness testimonies—to prove you can do the job to industry standards.
Which Pathway should you choose?
Depending on your specific job role, you can choose from pathways tailored to your expertise:
- Pathway 1: Cold Formed Steel Frame – Erection.
- Pathway 2: Cold Formed Steel Frame – Assembly/Erection.
Both pathways ensure you meet the high standards required by the construction industry and provide you with a nationally recognised qualification regulated by Ofqual.
Ready to certify your skills with the modern industry standard? This qualification ensures your experience in structural steel erection is fully recognised while aligning with the latest construction methods.
