ProQual NVQ Level 2 Diploma in Specialist Concrete Occupations

Who the Level 2 Specialist Concrete NVQ is for

Concrete specialists come in many forms, and this NVQ covers most of them. It is for operatives already working in roles such as concrete repair, sprayed concrete, drilling, sawing, cutting and coring, screed laying, resin application or decorative finishes, who want a formal qualification and the blue CSCS Skilled Worker card.
