NVQ Level 2 & 3 Onsite Assessment & Training (OSAT)
These options are designed for experienced workers without formal qualifications who want to obtain recognition of their skills by obtaining an NVQ Level 2 or Level 3 qualification without spending significant time training away from site.
An initial assessment is carried out by a qualified Assessor to determine whether you have the required skills to go directly onto OSAT or a few days formal tuition (usually between 5 and 13) at our training centre. Once the Assessor is satisfied you have the necessary experience, they will arrange to visit you on two/three occasions to assess your skills and competency to deliver hard metal work relative to the level for the qualification you are seeking.
