Course aims
The Level 2 NVQ Diploma in Building Maintenance Multi-trade Repair and Refurbishment Operations has been developed for delivery in a working environment; this means you need to be employed to study this qualification. It has been designed to develop and recognise your skills, knowledge and competence so that you can work in two or more of the following disciplines: carpentry and joinery, painting and decorating, and tiling, plastering, roofing or trowel occupations within the construction industry. Alternatively, you could progress onto further learning.
This qualification supports the learner to gain, fundamental and transferable practical skills with associated underpinning knowledge. Although part of an apprenticeship, this qualification is available outside of an apprenticeship where either the learner’s circumstances prevent them undertaking a full apprenticeship or where their prior skills and knowledge mean they do not require all components of the apprenticeship. In addition, industry will accept the qualification on its own as entry to a job role.
