Common questions
Before you enrol
Do I have to attend a college or training centre?
No. The whole qualification is completed through workplace assessment and portfolio evidence. Your assessor gathers evidence from the carpentry you already do — observations, professional discussions, photos, videos and site documentation — so there are no classroom sessions and no traditional written exams.
Do I need any qualifications to start?
No formal academic entry requirements. You should be aged 16 or over, working in a carpentry, joinery or wood occupations role, with practical woodworking experience and access to workplace evidence for assessment. At enrolment you choose the pathway that matches your work — site carpentry or architectural joinery.
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 is available at checkout for £200 extra if you need the qualification sooner.
Does this get me the Blue CSCS Card?
The Level 2 NVQ is the qualification the Blue Skilled Worker Card requires. Once your NVQ Diploma 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.
