How Do I Complete this NVQ?

During the induction, they’ll:

  • Set up your access to our online learner system
  • Explain how to submit photos, videos, and job documents as evidence
  • Walk you through the structure of your portfolio and what’s required

Once the induction is complete, you can progress through the NVQ at your own pace. Your assessor will stay in touch to support you, track your progress, and make sure you're on course to complete successfully.

💻 This NVQ is based entirely on the work you already do. No studying, no tests, and no time off site — just upload real evidence using our simple online platform.

How Is the Cladding NVQ Assessed?

This Cladding NVQ is assessed entirely through the work you already do on-site. To complete it, you’ll build a portfolio of real-world evidence that proves your competence — no classroom sessions or written exams involved.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. As long as you're working on-site in a relevant cladding or roof sheeting role, you can complete the NVQ from anywhere in the UK. Your assessor will support you remotely, and all evidence is submitted online.

No classroom attendance or written exams are required. This is a work-based qualification, so everything is assessed through the tasks you already do on-site.

You’ll submit real-world evidence like site photos or videos of you installing cladding systems, short written answers to knowledge questions, site documents (e.g. risk assessments), and a witness statement from a supervisor.

Most learners complete the NVQ in around 3–4 weeks if they’re working regularly and stay in touch with their assessor. However, you’ll have up to 12 months to finish if needed.

It’s very unlikely. You’ll receive one-to-one support throughout the course. If any evidence is missing or doesn’t meet the standard, your assessor will help you improve and resubmit.

Your assessor will review your full portfolio. Once they’re satisfied it meets the required standard, it’ll be internally verified and you’ll be awarded your certificate.
