Why apply for your NVQ Level 2 Solar Collector Roofer?

One of the biggest benefits of obtaining your NVQ Level 2 Solar Collector Roofer qualification is the validation you’ll receive for your skills and experience.

Obtaining this qualification demonstrates your competency as a worker within the construction industry and can help you and your company obtain further work under the PAS2035 accreditation

You can then apply for your CSCS (Construction Skills Certificate Scheme) skilled workers card, then progress to the level 3 qualification to obtain the gold supervisors card.

Who should consider applying for their NVQ Level 2 Solar Collector Roofer?

Designed to be taken by experienced roofers only, the entry requirements for this qualification state that applicants must be currently working in the trade, have experience in roofing and solar collector installation.

This qualification, however, is not to be confused with a roofing training course.

Instead of teaching you these skills, you’ll be demonstrating the skills and experience you’ve already learned to an assessor.

How will you be assessed?

First and foremost, you’ll be assessed using the On-Site Assessment and Training (OSAT) method.

Instead of taking a written exam, you’ll be assigned a dedicated roofing assessor and tasked with completing a range of relevant solar collector roofing work in order to create a portfolio of work-based evidence.

This evidence will then be used to secure your qualification.

Examples of work-based evidence includes on-site observation, photographs, health and safety documents such as risk assessments and method statements, and videos of relevant roofing work you’ve completed as well as recorded conversations between yourself and the assessor.

Once enough work-based evidence has been collected, it’ll be submitted for verification and you’ll be able to claim your NVQ qualification.

How much does it cost?

The price of our professional NVQ assessor services varies depending on a wide variety of factors.

As a result, we welcome enquiries and are happy to discuss your requirements before stating a set cost.

How long does it take to obtain the qualification?

Compared to many other qualifications that can take years to obtain, achieving your NVQ Level 2 Solar Collector Roofer  is much faster! This is because the OSAT method allows you continue working while collecting the relevant work-based evidence required to pass.

Typically, successful applicants will obtain their qualification inside three months.

However, this process can take longer depending on the amount of work you have available to complete and your availability.

180° excavators are heavy machines. Their versatility means that they are used for a variety of different jobs and tasks in construction and other land-based industries. Their size, weight, power, and components mean that their improper use can cause accidents and lead to serious injuries. It is vital that all users are fully versed in their safe use. Excavator training provides operators with the knowledge of how to safely operate and maintain the machinery, eliminating the risk of accident and injury.

Course Objective

The objective of 180° excavator training is to ensure that candidates can safely operate heavy excavators. These machines are potentially dangerous because of their size and power, and because of the conditions where they are typically used. Candidates will work towards becoming certified by the appropriate board, whether that is NPORS, Inhouse or CPCS excavator training.

Participant Requirements

All of our safety courses are geared towards those in construction and heavy industry. We provide both practical and theory training elements, which requires that candidates have a good understanding of written and spoken English.

All candidates must have successfully completed the touch screen Construction Skills Health and Safety test within the past two years.

Who Should Attend?

The 180 excavator training course is a health and safety requirement for any anybody that will be operating heavy excavators of this type. As well as those that use excavators every day, the course is suitable for those that will only occasionally use the machinery.

Managers and supervisors can also take the training, ensuring that they are able to use the excavators safely, and to give them a better understanding of the safe operation of plant machinery. Candidates looking to achieve the blue competence card, or an equivalent from another board, should take this course.

What Will Participants Learn?

The 180 excavator training course is conducted using 5+ tonne excavators, which means delegates will be able to safely use any size excavator of this type once they have completed the course. Delegates will learn how to conduct pre-use inspections and safety checks, as well as how to use them on any type of terrain. They will be taught how to change the attachments and how to safely shutdown and secure the excavator.

• Operate the 180° wheeled excavator safely and productively
• Fit and operate ancillary equipment
• Site the machine safely and efficiently
• Carry out minor adjustments and routine servicing procedures
• Prepare the machine for travelling on the public highway
• Understand the capabilities, purposes and limitations of each machine
• Follow all necessary safety precautions
• Interpret the information provided by level pegs and profiles
• Be aware of the necessary routine adjustments and service procedures, and carry them out
• Work to levels with the aid of laser equipment.

Training Bodies Courses Available

Course durations and tests will depend on which awarding body you require:

CPCS – The Construction Plant Competence Scheme is the most widely recognised accreditation scheme in the construction industry. Many organisations require that operators have CPCS cards, as part of their company policies.

NPORS – National Plant Operators Registration Scheme is a widely recognised accreditation specialising in the construction sector.  On successful completion of the course, delegates will receive a Red Competent Card which is valid for 2 years.  In that time delegates will be required to complete the relevant Level 2 Plant Operations NVQ in order to update their card to a Blue Competency Card.
