About Us

Who we are and how we work

Up Level Ltd - Construction NVQs

Up Level was established in 2014 by a team of enthusiastic industry professionals with real hands-on construction experience. Our office is based in Chelmsford, but our assessors work from different regions across the UK. This gives us nationwide coverage for Level 2 qualifications, and global coverage for Levels 3 to 7, including for our international clients.

Over the years, we’ve supported clients both locally and overseas, and we’re proud of the strong track record we’ve built with learners around the world.

Our centre is officially accredited by two awarding organisations – Pearson and ProQual. Our lead assessors are also accredited to deliver qualifications through NSAC (a CITB division operating under the NOCN awarding organisation), which means we also take part in annual CITB standardisation events.

Everything went smoothly, I had no problems whatsoever. Communication was excellent, everything was explained clearly, and the staff were great throughout. My assessor, Raymond, guided me through the whole process and was always responsive, no matter the time. Highly recommend!

I really enjoyed having Raymond as my Assessor for my Level 6 NVQ Diploma. I had all of the evidence for my portfolio, and Raymond gave me the confidence I needed to know that it was to a high standard. Raymond was great to deal with, very supportive, and I wouldn’t hesitate to snatch up the opportunity to work with him again.

I recently achieved my NVQ LVL2 in Passive Fire Protection and it wouldnt have been possible without Nick. From the start he was a great help in guiding me to achieve my qualification. He is a very approachable, patient and decent person who obviously cares a lot about his role in helping people pass their NVQ'S. I would recommend using Up Level to anyone who asked based purely on my experience with Nick and how he made my NVQ a genuinely fun experience.

Can I skip levels and obtain a higher NVQ qualification?

Yes, it is possible to skip levels and obtain a higher NVQ qualification, as long as you can provide evidence of your competence in your field of expertise.

How soon can I apply for a CSCS card?

The timeframe for the NVQ assessment may vary depending on your employment status and your ability to provide evidence of your work practice. Typically, you will discuss all aspects of your circumstances with your assessor before starting the course to confirm a potential completion date. Once you agree on a realistic and achievable completion date, the assessment can begin.

Upon receipt of the full payment for the assessment services provided to you, our sales department will release your certificate.

Can I still do the NVQ if I'm dyslexic or feel that I have a non-academic mind?

Yes. Having dyslexia or a non-academic mind does not affect your ability to complete an NVQ. Our assessors take your individual situation into account and will create an assessment plan that suits your needs. Your grammar ability is not a significant factor in the assessment process.
