Plastering / Drylining / Tiling  NVQ Qualifications
 NVQ Route – On Site Assessment (OSAT)

In order to qualify and register for this plastering, Drylining, Tiling NVQ, the following criteria must be met:

        * You  will need to be employed/self-employed in a role that is related to Plastering / Dry lining / Tiling

These qualifications (NVQs) focus on practical skills and knowledge. Developed and approved by people who work in the industry, they are a great way to get into construction or to boost your career by developing new skills and knowledge through the assessment of work based competence.

Goldtrowel can offer NVQ on site assessments to those of you who have underpinning knowledge with 5 years experience or more. We have our own Assessors and Internal Verifiers, all of whom are City & Guilds and CAA approved. As long as you are working within the Plastering / Drylining / Tiling Industry, we can come and assess you on site.

The process will start with an interview between you and your assessor whereby an action plan and timetable will be drawn up. You will be required to gather and record evidence as indicated on your assessment plan and you would benefit from a work based recorder (Supervisor or foreman); this will help to confirm work which you have undertaken which an Assessor was unable to be present at.

Assessments will be at your work place whereby we will be observing you at work, we will examine and discuss any evidence you have provided. An assessor will sign off completed units, where sufficient quality and quantity has been provided, any shortfalls of evidence will be discussed and any training requirements identified. In between visits, you will continue to generate further evidence. If you have underpinning knowledge and more than 5 years experience we recommend the following:-
