NVQ: Level 3 - Diploma in Roofing Occupations

Who is this qualification for?

The NVQ Level 3 Diploma in Roofing Occupations is aimed at those who are involved in Roofing, more specifically installing roof tiles, slates or both. The qualification is at level 3 although there may be some units at different levels. NVQ Level 3 qualifications are primarily aimed at those who are fully trained and experienced in a wide range of installation types including mitred, vertical, roofs with diminishing margins, curved/ swept roofs and installations that involve non-routine or complex work. Candidates must also carry outstripping and reclamation of roof coverings.

NVQ Level 3 candidates are often also involved in decision making, quality checks and work planning. It is not expected that candidates working in this industry all do the same activities or use the same equipment and machinery, so the qualification has been developed to make it as widely available as possible by having 3 distinct pathways. All work completed must be carried out in accordance with Building Regulations and Industry recognised safe working practices, including the disposal of waste. The qualification is structured to ensure that there is a high degree of flexibility within the pathways and units available and will allow employees from companies of all sizes and specialisms equal opportunity to complete.

Completion of Level 3 NVQ Diploma in Roofing Occupations will allow you to apply for Gold Trade CSCS Card.
