No. The whole qualification is completed through workplace assessment and portfolio evidence. Your assessor gathers evidence from the plastering work you already do — observations, photos, professional discussions and site records — with no classroom sessions or written exams.
Do I need any qualifications to start?
No formal academic entry requirements. You should be aged 16 or over, working in a plastering role with access to live workplace plastering activities, and have a basic understanding of English — the NVQ assesses the competence you already have.
How long does it take?
Typical completion is around 12 weeks. The pace is set by how quickly evidence is gathered from your jobs, and a fast-track route (+£200) is available at checkout if you need the qualification sooner.
Does this get me the Blue CSCS Card?
The Level 2 NVQ Diploma in Plastering supports your application for the Blue CSCS Skilled Worker Card. Once your NVQ is awarded, you pass the CITB Health, Safety & Environment test and apply to CSCS — we’ll point you through both steps.
How does the 50/50 payment work?
You pay £330 when you enrol and the remaining £330 only when you complete the qualification. There’s no interest and no credit check — just choose the 50/50 option at checkout.
