Level 2 NVQ Taping and Jointing Requirements
The Level 2 NVQ Taping and Jointing assessment & training course is designed specifically for professional drywall finishers who have sufficient expertise in their industry and who are able to demonstrate the necessary drywall finishing practical skills—as stated in the National Occupational Standards.
A skilled taper and jointer is expected to know how to:
•
finish/make good walls and ceilings
•
work with hand or mechanical tools — such as flat box, internal corner flusher, angle/corner box and compound tube (bazooka)
The drywall finishing trade certification course must include enough evidence to demonstrate that the learner has an obvious understanding of the fundamental Health & Safety aspects of the project. Hence a taper and jointer must show the ability and knowledge of how complete jobs safely, as described in the general site guidelines.
