ProQual NVQ Level 2 Diploma in Associated Industrial Services Occupations – Passive Fire Protection

Who the Level 2 Passive Fire Protection NVQ is for

This NVQ is for operatives already working in passive fire protection, for example fitting fire-resistant boards, installing fire stopping systems, sealing service penetrations or fitting cavity barriers. It lets you prove that competence formally, and helps employers qualify their existing installation teams.
