Assessment Process

OSAT (On Site Assessment & Training)

Your assessor will visit you between 2-4 times (in general) to collect evidence relating to the qualification you’re doing. Using methods such as Observation (watching) and Questioning/Discussion they will collect what’s needed to prove your competence at your trade.

A third party reference (Witness Testimony) can be used as another source of evidence stating the work you do on site and that you are capable of working safely.

Videos and recorded discussions are sometimes used as they are a good way of collecting substantial evidence in both practical ability and level of understanding

Your assessor will work with you to plan the assessments and methods used taking into account any of your individual needs.

Roofing NVQ Level 2 FAQs

What qualifications do you need to be a roofer?

Although you don’t necessarily need qualifications to be a roofer if you have already got experience or relevant training under your belt, the best way into roofing if you haven’t done any construction work before is to opt for a Level 2 Diploma in Roof Slating and Tiling. This will give you what you need to make a start as a roofer.
