Level 3 NVQ Diploma in Formwork

Entry requirements

You work at advanced craft level, or you carry some responsibility for the standard of other people’s work, depending on the pathway you take.

To start Level 3 qualification you need:

• A relevant job to be assessed in. This is a competence qualification, so you must have access to real work of the right type while you are registered. No workplace, no evidence.
• Proof of identity — a passport, driving licence or similar, as the awarding body requires.
• A National Insurance number, so we can obtain your Unique Learner Number.
• Enough English to explain your work to your assessor and to talk through your evidence.
• A device with a camera — a phone is fine. Evidence is photos and short videos of your own work, uploaded to your e-portfolio.

You do not need: any prior qualification, any classroom attendance, or to sit an exam. Assessment is entirely in your workplace via a remote e-portfolio, nationwide.

Tell us about any support need, disability or learning difficulty when you enrol and we will arrange reasonable adjustments — it does not affect whether you can take the qualification.

The awarding body sets the final entry criteria for each qualification. If you are not sure whether your current role gives you the right evidence, ask us before you book — we would rather tell you honestly than register you for something you cannot complete.
