NHBC’s ongoing aim is to improve standards in home building, and our training ensures that you have access to the skills and accreditations needed to help achieve this.

In 2015, we have responded to industry needs by expanding the number of courses on offer and refining the content of existing courses.

NHBC Training Prospectus - Trade Talks Page 11

Lifting Operations

We’ve updated our very popular Trade Talks to reflect current construction methods. These one-hour talks are designed to highlight to trade and site operatives the most common reportable items or defects that NHBC inspectors and claims investigators encounter on residential developments. Delivered by NHBC building inspectors, each talk gives practical guidance on how to prevent these problems occurring with individual elements of a build.

The talks can be delivered on or near your site as long as a suitable room is available to seat the attendees – large site offices, canteens, nearly completed properties and show houses have been host to our Trade Talks in the past.

NHBC Training Prospectus - NVQs Page 13

In 2014, over 200 individuals were supported by NHBC throughout the completion of their NVQ qualification. The NVQs currently on offer are:

In the construction industry, NVQs are recognised as the benchmark qualification for proving occupational competence.

Our eleven expert assessors support a wide range of NVQs, and as well as benchmarking candidates’ competence, they work with them to develop their skills and knowledge through the assessment process. We conduct these assessments through a mixture of workplace visits and online support, minimising the impact on candidates’ working time.

Regardless of the qualification level, most candidates are expected to complete their NVQ in 9 to 12 months. However, it is not uncommon for learners to complete the process more quickly. All NVQs attract credits within the Qualification Credit Framework, meaning they can be used in the future towards other further or higher education courses.
