From start to finish, this process has been very smooth. I have undertaken two other NVQs prior to this one and the uploading and cross-referencing of evidence on your online system is so simple in comparison, it’s almost cheating!
We have been using NHBC’s training team for the last two years and we are about to sign up for another round. NHBC have the track record and history, so the people we work with know that we are using the best option.
It was great to learn new technical skills and work closely with NHBC. My NHBC assessor was really helpful and could always be reached by phone or email.
