Drylining Boarding NVQ
Level 2 NVQ - (Blue CSCS Card)
The drylining boarding NVQ is for experienced Tackers (fixing plasterboard to timber or metal studwork) and Stickers (fixing plasterboard to walls using adhesive plaster)
You will need to demonstrate practical skills in relevant areas of dry lining boarding, to prove you have the ability to carry out your work safely and to a good standard. You will also need to show understanding and awareness to prove you have a good level of work-related knowledge and competence.
How Your NVQ Is Assessed
Unlike many other providers, we don’t require you to complete lots of written work. Where appropriate, your assessor can gather evidence through discussion and verbal questioning, making the process much more straightforward.
You also don’t have to manage an online e-portfolio yourself. Your assessor takes responsibility for building and managing your portfolio of evidence.
Your assessor will visit you in your workplace to assess your skills and gather evidence for your NVQ. This may include observing you carrying out your normal work and discussing your knowledge, skills and responsibilities with you. Discussions and assessments may be recorded electronically as part of the assessment process.
Where appropriate, witness testimonies from a manager, supervisor or other suitable person can also be used to confirm your competence and the responsibilities you carry out at work.
The aim is to assess you through the work you already do, without impacting on your busy routine.
How Long Does the NVQ Take?
The timescale between registration and completion varies for different candidates – candidate experience and willingness are key factors here. However, 2-4 months is an achievable duration for competent dry lining boarding operatives.
Cost
The standard cost of this Level 2 NVQ is £795 plus VAT at the prevailing rate. Grant money can be claimed back at completion by companies registered with CITB.
