Frequently asked questions
Do I need to attend a classroom?
No. An NVQ assesses what you already do at work. You collect evidence on the job and your assessor visits you on site.
How long does an NVQ take?
It depends on your experience and how quickly you gather evidence. Many experienced workers finish a Level 2 within a few months. We'll give you a realistic timeline in your free consultation.
My English isn't perfect – can I still do an NVQ?
Yes. Our team supports you in English and Polish throughout – from first advice to your card application.
What's the difference between an NVQ and a CSCS card?
The NVQ is your qualification – proof that you are competent in your trade. The CSCS card shows on site that you hold the right qualification and have passed the Health, Safety & Environment test.
How much does it cost, and can I pay in instalments?
The price depends on the NVQ and your situation. Ask us about costs and payment options – we'll explain everything clearly before you start.
My card is about to expire – what should I do?
Most CSCS cards can be renewed if you hold the right qualification and an in-date HS&E test. If you no longer qualify for your card type, we can help you find the NVQ you need.
