The qualification will allow you to demonstrate your skill and knowledge and leave with a qualification.

What happens during the Level 2 Painting and Decorating NVQ?

Upon enrolling, we will assign you with an assessor who will assist you in building a portfolio of evidence. They will also arrange an induction with you that can be completed on-site or remotely.

During the induction, the assessor will outline how you can obtain the required evidence to complete the qualification. Following the induction, the assessor will arrange review meetings to ensure that you keep on track.

Throughout the NVQ you will be assessed on-site by various methods, such as observations, professional discussions, written questions, evidence generated from the workplace and witness testimonials.

To pass the NVQ, you are required to gather all the evidence needed to complete each unit. By doing so, you will prove that you are competent enough to obtain the qualification. The assessor will then go through the finished portfolio and present any feedback to you. Once you have acknowledged the feedback, the IQA will then receive the portfolio. The IQA will decide whether the qualification is complete or if any additional evidence is needed.

On completion of the NVQ, you will receive a certificate. The qualification does not have an expiry date and therefore does not need to be renewed.

Once the qualification has been completed, you will apply for the Skilled Worker CSCS Card. This will confirm that you have the appropriate qualifications to work in your role.

Working as a Painter and Decorator can be dangerous if you haven’t attended the relevant training. Courses such as Safe Use Of Ladders & Step LaddersUKATA Asbestos Awareness and Face Fit Testing are ideal for helping assure that.
