The Level 2 NVQ in Architectural Metalwork Installation recognises your competence as a specialist installation operative. It is a workplace qualification for people carrying out architectural metalwork installation who want their practical skills and knowledge formally assessed.
The full award is the NOCN Level 2 NVQ Diploma in Specialist Installation Occupations (Construction) – Architectural Metalwork Installer, qualification reference 603/7665/X. This pathway focuses on metalwork installation alongside safe working, productive working practices and the handling of resources.
Who is this architectural metalwork NVQ for?
You must be aged 16 or over and employed in relevant work that provides opportunities for assessment. No previous qualifications are required. Before enrolment, speak to us about your role so we can check that this pathway matches the work you carry out.
What will you be assessed on?
You must achieve all four mandatory units, totalling 53 credits. These combine the specialist installation unit with health and safety, productive working and moving, handling and storing resources. There are no optional units listed for this pathway.
How does workplace assessment work?
An assessor reviews your performance and underpinning knowledge against the unit requirements. You produce a portfolio of evidence showing how you meet those requirements through your work. Your assessor will explain what evidence is needed and help you plan the assessment.
