What Youll Learn

OSAT: NVQ Route - On Site Assessment for Painter/Decorators with less than 5 years experience

As an NVQ approved assessment centre, Able Skills can offer NVQ on site assessment (OSAT) to those of you who have underpinning qualifications or who have been working within the Painting & Decorating industry for less than 5 years and who have reached a level of competence which falls in line with NVQ Occupational Standards.

The units you will be required to evidence to achieve a QUA 827 Level 2 NVQ Diploma in Decorative Finishing and Industrial Painting Occupations (Construction) Painter are:

  • QCF250C: Erecting and Dismantling Access/Working Platforms in the Workplace
  • QCF332: Preparing Surfaces for Painting/Decorating in the Workplace
  • QCF333Av2: Applying Paint Systems by Brush and Roller in the Workplace
  • QCF641: Conforming to General Health, Safety and Welfare in the Workplace
  • QCF642: Conforming to Productive Working Practices in the Workplace
  • QCF643: Moving, Handling and Storing Resources in the Workplace

We have our own Assessors and Internal Verifiers, all of whom are City & Guilds and Construction Skills approved. As long as you are working within the Painting & Decorating Industry, we can come and assess you on site.

In order to qualify and register for this Painting & Decorating NVQ, the following criteria must be met:

  • You must work within a 60 mile radius of Dartford Postcode: DA1
  • You will need to be employed in a role that is related to Painting & Decorating

These qualifications (NVQs) focus on practical skills and knowledge. Developed and approved by people who work in the industry, they are a great way to get into construction or to boost your career by developing new skills and knowledge through the assessment of work based competence.

How Youll Learn

Painting & Decorating NVQ Assessment process

The process will start with an interview between you and your assessor whereby an action plan and timetable will be drawn up.

You will be required to gather and record evidence as indicated on your assessment plan and you would benefit from a work based recorder (Supervisor or foreman); this will help to confirm work which you have undertaken which an Assessor was unable to be present at.

Assessments will be at your work place whereby we will be observing you at work Painting & Decorating; we will examine and discuss any evidence you have provided. An assessor will sign off completed units, where sufficient quality and quantity has been provided, any shortfalls of evidence will be discussed and any training requirements identified. In between visits, you will continue to generate further evidence.

From registration, you will have 3 years allocated time in which to achieve the Painting & Decorating NVQ. NVQs can be achieved in a relatively short space of time however, if the Painting & Decorating work you are doing is restricted or repetitive, the NVQ process can take longer because the opportunity to meet all of the required NVQ units will not be available to you.

Courses Open To You After

Once you have achieved NVQ level 2 via this route, you may wish to consider being assessed on-site to achieve level 3 at a later date.
