Construction NVQs are now more desirable than ever, especially to gain access to a construction site.
If you work in Trade or Plant, it is important to keep yourself well-informed with all the latest industry information.
This article will discuss the latest requirements for construction workers and what NVQs are available to you based on your trade.
With recent industry developments, more and more employers are looking for employees who have completed an NVQ.
This is especially desired when working in construction as completing an NVQ can be a pathway towards getting your CSCS or CPCS card.
The CSCS card allows workers to gain access on-site.
