Furniture Installer NVQ
Furniture Installer NVQ
The Furniture Installer NVQ Level 2 assesses experienced fitted-furniture installers in their normal work. Awarded by GQA on the Fitted Interiors pathway, it leads to the Blue CSCS Skilled Worker card. It costs £750 fixed with no VAT, typically takes 4–8 weeks with assessment carried out remotely or on site from your normal work — no exams, no classroom, and leads to the Blue CSCS Skilled Worker card.
Qualification Overview
For installers of fitted furniture across domestic and commercial projects — receptions, retail, office and residential fit-outs — this NVQ formally recognises the installation skills you already use: handling, assembly, fixing and finishing.
Assessment is evidence-based from your real installations, gathered remotely or on site over a typical 4–8 weeks.
