Register your interest in our Experienced Worker Practical Assessment (EWPA), a fast-track assessment route for experienced construction workers who may be suitable to work towards a Level 2 NVQ without unnecessary retraining, alongside the opportunity for them to apply for their blue card post completion.
EWPA is designed for experienced construction workers who already have the practical skills, trade knowledge and site experience but do not yet hold the qualification.
Following profiling and eligibility checks, suitable learners may be able to take an assessment-led route towards a Level 2 NVQ, helping them gain formal recognition for the job they are already doing.
This route is intended for experienced workers only and is not a replacement for full training where training is still needed.
EWPA can help employers and experienced workers:
If you have experienced workers who can already do the job but still need formal recognition, EWPA could offer a more efficient route to explore.
