What to expect from the NVQ

You’ll fill in a registration form and provide a copy of your photo ID. Once enrolled, your assessor schedules an induction to explain the portfolio and answer questions. You can start any day – no fixed intake.

You’ll use our online portfolio system. Your assessor will ask you to complete knowledge questions (written or via discussion) and gather workplace evidence: photographs, videos of you working, copies of site documents, and a witness testimony from a competent person.

When your assessor is satisfied that all evidence meets the standards, they’ll submit for internal verification. You’ll receive your CITB‑approved NVQ diploma – usually within 4 weeks if you work consistently.

This NVQ is for people already employed as cavity barrier installers, fire stoppers, or in similar roles. All evidence must come from real site work – it cannot be simulated. Your daily tasks should involve installing cavity barriers and fire‑stopping materials.

You’ll complete mandatory units covering core cavity barrier skills, plus optional units tailored to your role. Your assessor will help you select the right combination based on your daily work.
