The recognised qualification for bricklayers, evidenced around the work you're already doing. From skilled operative to advanced craftsman, the right NVQ level for your role mapped to the right CSCS card. No time off site, no textbooks, no jargon.
The NVQ is the official recognition of what you can already do on site. The right qualification opens the right doors, on the right sites, at the right pay grade.
Direct route to your Skilled Worker (Blue) or Advanced Craft (Gold) card, the credential that gets you on every major site in the UK.
Properly qualified bricklayers command better rates. Tier 1 contractors and bigger projects increasingly require the certification, not just the experience.
Level 3 unlocks the route to Site Supervision and management qualifications down the line. The NVQ is the foundation of every move up.
Years of skilled work formally documented and certified. Useful for self-employment, tendering, and proving competence to new clients.
Two levels of Bricklaying NVQ, each mapped to a stage of your career and a specific CSCS card. The right level depends on your current role and where you want to go next, which we work out together on the first call.
For bricklayers in skilled operative roles. Recognises the core competencies of laying bricks and blocks, working from drawings, and finishing to standard.
For experienced bricklayers and advanced craftspeople. Covers complex brickwork, leading small teams, and quality assurance on more demanding projects.
Pricing is shaped to your level and the work that needs to be evidenced. Indicative rates are below. The exact quote for your situation is shared on your first call with Sonia, with no obligation.
Skilled Worker pathway leading to your Blue CSCS card.
Advanced Craft pathway leading to your Gold CSCS card.
Four clear stages from initial consultation to NVQ certificate in hand. Each stage is structured around your real working life so the qualification fits the job, not the other way around.
A short call to understand your role, the work you're doing, and the right level for your career stage. No commitment.
A clear, written plan mapping your existing experience to the NVQ standards. You'll know exactly what evidence is needed before we start.
Photos, witness statements, work logs and documents from your real day-to-day. Site visits arranged where they're needed.
Once approved, your NVQ certificate is issued. You then apply for your CSCS card directly through CSCS. The application itself isn't part of the SAR service.
The questions every bricklayer asks before getting in touch. If yours isn't here, just call.
A short call is all it takes to know if we're the right fit. No commitment, no pressure, just a clear answer on the route ahead.
