The NVQ Level 2 in Formwork is a nationally recognised qualification for construction operatives who install and dismantle formwork systems for concrete structures. It confirms your ability to work safely and competently with traditional and system formwork used in foundations, walls, columns, and slabs. The assessment takes place entirely on-site through observation, evidence collection, and professional discussion — no classroom sessions or exams. The course covers reading drawings, measuring and cutting materials, assembling shutters, and working to high health and safety standards. It’s ideal for experienced workers who want to formalise their skills and apply for the Blue CSCS Skilled Worker Card. Upon completion, candidates receive a fully recognised NVQ certificate accepted across UK construction sites.
