Entry Require­ments

There are no for­mal entry require­ments for learn­ers under­tak­ing this qual­i­fi­ca­tion, but it is prin­ci­pal­ly designed for per­sons who are aged 16 years of age or old­er and who already have a back­ground and expe­ri­ence in the con­struc­tion industry. 

This could include learn­ers who have achieved or are work­ing towards oth­er con­struc­tion qual­i­fi­ca­tions, such as Con­struc­tion VRQs, or indi­vid­u­als who work or have worked in the con­struc­tion indus­try and are look­ing to move into the retro­fit sec­tor. The learn­er must be in a posi­tion to demon­strate the require­ments of the qual­i­fi­ca­tions and have access to required assess­ment oppor­tu­ni­ties and rel­e­vant resources. 

Please refer to spe­cif­ic assess­ment require­ments for more infor­ma­tion.
Cen­tres should under­take ini­tial assess­ment activ­i­ties with learn­ers to ensure these are appro­pri­ate qual­i­fi­ca­tions for them, and they can achieve the lev­el they will be study­ing before enrolling them onto a pro­gramme of learning.
