Our Plant Operations NVQ's are a competency-based qualification used to show your competence in a specific type of plant machinery. We offer various Level 2 qualifications designed by our awarding body, the SQA, to show that you are skilled enough to conduct your work safely.

 

What does the Level 2 Plant Operations NVQ cover?

 

No matter what machine unit you choose, the Plant Operations NVQ has the same 2 mandatory units. You must show evidence of the below for any pathway that you chose:

• Conforming to general health, safety and welfare in the workplace

• Conforming to productive working practices in the workplace

 

We will conduct an initial induction and then work with you to complete your portfolio, continuously reviewing your progress to ensure that you are on track to completion.

 

We will monitor each candidate through various ways, such as written questions, professional discussions, evidence generated from the workplace, on-site observations and witness testimonials.

 

Once all the required evidence has been collected, the portfolio will be received by an IQA (Internal Quality Assurer), who will decide whether the qualification is complete or whether any further evidence is required.

 

Once completed, the portfolio will be signed off and a certificate will be posted out. The certificate is a lifetime qualification that does not expire or need to be renewed.

 

You will now be ready to apply for your Blue Competent Operator Card, which confirms that you have the relevant qualifications to work as a Plant Operator in your chosen machine category.

​

The unit choices for this NVQ derive from the National Occupational Standards.​
