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 slinger/signallers or in similar roles. All evidence must come from real site work – it cannot be simulated. You need to be working on site to enrol.
