Alternatively, if your aim is to work on-site as a Carpenter, you will need to take the 8-week NVQ Level 2 Carpentry Course. This programme will get you to the point of being ready to go out on-site as a Carpenter. However, to gain the NVQ you will need to build a portfolio of work evidence when working on-site and have two site assessments from our NVQ assessor. Once you've gained the NVQ you will then be able to get a CSCS Skilled Workers card which will give you access to all site work.
