Level 2 NVQs
HR Training & Development Ltd offer a number of Level 2 National Vocational Qualifications (NVQs) on Plant Operations, awarding candidates on their competence in carrying out a particular job role to the National Occupational Standards. An NVQ is a nationally recognised qualification which is for life, it does not expire. Each item of plant for which there is a CPCS category has an appropriate NVQ. Red cards under the CPCS scheme have a lifespan of two years during which time the holder is expected to achieve the relevant NVQ. For a red cardholder to upgrade to blue, and so be able to renew it the only route is by gaining the relevant NVQ and passing a touch screen test. If you are a CITB levy payer, you may be able to claim a CITB grant. NVQs are divided into two categories, NVQ Certificates and NVQ Diplomas. They are determined by the length of the qualification's learning time and not the level of difficulty, with NVQ Diplomas requiring more hours than NVQ Certificates.
