NVQ Level 2 Diploma in Plastering

NVQ Level 2 Plastering Qualification Structure

The NVQ Level 2 Plastering assessment & training is designed for those who have significant knowledge in a real-world setting that shows their capability to achieve the Plastering Diploma.

This assessment program allows them, the plasterers, to demonstrate and acknowledge their experience, abilities, clear understanding and expertise.

When you commit to begin the plastering NVQ on-site assessment and training course, you’ll be assessed for a set of knowledge as well as performance assessment requirements, which are recognised by the National Occupational Standards relevant to the work-related area. The assessment will be carried out by a professional who is certified and well-experienced to offer you help and support as you accomplish your qualification.

How It Works?

Usually, it takes 2 assessment sessions to cover the plastering assessment criteria. Depending on the quality of evidence we receive from you and your personal circumstances, these sessions may involve at least one site visit.

Although the assessment process can vary depending on the route you've selected at the time of your booking (for options, see the booking form), we can outline typical steps you can expect during your assessment. However, given the dynamic nature of our industry, we always strive to adapt the process to suit your individual situation.

For simplicity, let’s break down the process of a typical assessment for a plasterer into 6 chronological steps.

Step 1: Introduction

You will receive an instructional email as startup guidance, which will include a list of performance criteria. This will help you identifying the evidence you can start gathering for your assessment portfolio.

Step 2: Welcome Call

You will receive a phone call (usually the next day) from your NVQ assessor to discuss the assessment requirements, your work, and potential product evidence that you can provide for your assessment. This evidence may come from your current or even previous/completed projects. During this call, you'll agree on the next steps and gain a clear understanding of what you need to do to prepare for the first assessment session. The assessor will also email you any required course materials.

Step 3: Compile Evidence

Based on the guidance and advice provided by the assessor, you will start gathering evidence (if not already available) for the first assessment session.

Step 4: The Assessment

After gathering sufficient evidence for the first session, you will schedule a date and time for the first session, which may involve an onsite visit or a phone call based on the evidence quality and your circumstances. During this session, you will discuss the evidence and explain your work processes and methods. The first session is generally designed to cover around 50% of the assessment criteria.

Step 5: Assessment Progress

After the first session, the assessor will review all the evidence and conduct a gap analysis to identify any remaining criteria. You will receive feedback on the steps required to address these criteria. Once you've collected the additional evidence, you can arrange for your next session, which is typically a remote session conducted over the phone.

Step 6: Completion

During this session, our aim is to address all the remaining criteria to complete your assessment. In most cases, this marks the final session. Once we've covered 100% of the assessment criteria, we will compile and finalize your portfolio, and then proceed to claim your NVQ achievement from the Awarding Body.
