Turn Your Red Card Blue
The Level 2 NVQ in Plant Operations is the qualification employers demand. It's the only route to a Blue CSCS Skilled Worker card.
Level 2 NVQ In Plant Operations
The NVQ is workplace-assessed on a live operating site. You need to be currently working on site and operating the machine. An assessor watches you work and builds a portfolio of evidence of your competence.
There is a small sign-off component at the office to complete your portfolio, but this isn't classroom-based training.
The NVQ qualification itself never expires. Only the card needs renewing. This is the route to the Blue CSCS Skilled Worker card.
