Frequently Asked Questions
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.

Testimonial
Don't Take Our Word For it
Brilliant service and brilliant staff in the office and the assessors on site. Made it easy to complete my long awaited blue card, no more excuses at inductions with a green card anymore!! My assessor in particular Roy Douglas was very flexible with his time always answered the phone and worked around my hours on site. Believe it’s the same across the board. Would recommend to anyone. Big thanks.

Bricklaying Level 2
Many thanks to all at North West Skills Academy, I'd like to thank my assessor in particular who was the assessor's on the day for my NVQ level 2 in Bricklaying. My assessor was at the other end of the phone when needed and was unbelievably helpful when called upon. He is very knowledgeable and thorough in his work. Thank you once again North West Skills Academy.
