Northwest Skills Academy has partnered with Checkatrade to boost your learning with a fast track Joinery NVQ Level 2
The Level 2 Joinery and site carpentry qualification has been developed for achievement in a real workplace environment which means you need to be employed to undertake this qualification. This qualification enables you, the learner, to demonstrate and recognise your skills, knowledge and understanding and to demonstrate your competence in a real workplace environment so you can work as a Site Carpenter within the construction industry.
You will be assessed against a set of performance and knowledge statements which have been derived from National Occupational Standards for your occupational area. You will be assessed by an occupationally competent and qualified assessor whose job is to work with you and help you complete your qualification.
There are two ways in which North West Skills Academy deliver qualifications to learners. This can be by either our ‘Fast Track’ route or an On-Site Assessment.
Fast Track delivery is an experienced worker practical assessment (EWPA). A one-day practical assessment at one of our assessment centres undertaking a rigorous practical skills test in your chosen trade area. For the Fast Track Assessment option you will be required to have 5 years construction experience as a minimum.
The On Site Assessment takes longer than the Fast Track option, but can still be delivered between 1- 4 months; we come to your site over several visits and assess your capability over an extended period of time (1-4 months).
For the On Site Assessment route you need to be an experienced member of the trade we are assessing.
