Undertake Our One-Day EWPA, And You Could Soon Be A Much More Employable Carpenter
by Liz Seyi Digital marketing managerEvery year, of course, is
an opportunity for new beginnings, but it’s also undeniable that 2021 began in
an especially grim way for many of us. The combination of a fresh coronavirus
lockdown and the long and dark nights of January and February was not how most
of us would have wished to start the year.
Now, though, there is hope: the spring is here, the skies are
lighter for longer, and COVID-19 cases aren’t as high as they were. You might,
then, be feeling slightly more inclined right now to investigate ways of
upgrading your career, such as our own carpentry & joinery NVQ Level 2 courses here at YTA.
In this particular blog
post, we’re not focusing on a ‘course’ as such, but instead on an assessment
route for those who already possess considerable carpentry experience.
What we’re referring to, is
the Experienced Worker Practical Assessment (EWPA). This is an option for
joiners who have spent five or more years in this profession, and – when passed
– results in the award of an NVQ Level 2 carpentry diploma.
Why would you wish to take
on this assessment route?
If you are already an experienced
tradesperson, it won’t necessarily make much sense for you to take on a
complete training course, just to obtain your NVQ Level 2 qualification in your
chosen trade. Indeed, you may have the required skills and knowledge already –
in which case, the EWPA route gives you the perfect opportunity to demonstrate
them, and enhance your longer-term career prospects in the process.
This is a fast-track
assessment route, only typically taking about one day – or two days, if needed
– at our Yorkshire training and assessment centre.
The qualification that
those satisfying the EWPA requirements then receive – the Cskills Awards NVQ
Level 2 Carpentry Diploma in Wood Occupations (Construction) – is the one
required in order to attain the blue skilled worker CSCS card. That card, in
turn, is the one that will enable you to gain site work as a skilled carpenter.
A straightforward process
that could end with an invaluable qualification
In these times of
prospective economic recovery, it’s well worth doing everything you can to
boost your employability as a tradesperson. Undertaking our carpentry EWPA
could be the ideal way to do exactly that, as long as your existing experience
and knowledge satisfy the requirements.
To learn more about the
carpentry EWPA, including the units included in it and the witness testimonies,
practical assessment, professional discussion and direct questioning required
for you to pass it, simply visit our relevant course page on our website.
Then, call YTA on 01274
682199, for an initial discussion with us about the process. If, as a result of
this discussion, the EWPA route seems like it could be suitable for you, we’ll
put you in touch with our NVQ carpentry assessor, who will be able to complete
a ‘skills scan’ and help ensure you are making the right decision in pursuing
the EWPA.
You’ll be in extremely safe
hands when you choose to advance your career as a carpenter with the help of
YTA, which is one of the UK’s most trusted providers of carpentry & joinery
NVQ Level 2 courses!
