The Cskills Awards Bricklaying EWPA Offers A Quick Route To Site Work - YTA
by Liz Seyi Digital marketing managerWe may be known here at YTA for our beginner and advanced
bricklaying courses alike, but it isn’t just training in this crucial trade that we
provide; we can also offer a fast-track assessment route to enable you to truly
fast-forward your career.
This is – of course – a reference to our Experienced Worker Practical Assessment (EWPA)
pathway, whereby
already-experienced bricklayers only need to join us at our Yorkshire assessment
centre for one full day (or two days at most), in order to achieve an NVQ Level
2 qualification.
We
make available the EWPA route for various trades – including wall and floor tiling, site carpentry and plastering, as well as bricklaying.
Whichever pathway one chooses, the broad principle
of the EWPA remains the same; through a practical assessment, you can prove
that you already have an NVQ Level 2 standard of skills and knowledge, and
thereby obtain the blue skilled worker CSCS card that will enable you to gain
work on a construction site.
What are the specifics of the bricklaying EWPA, in
particular?
If it is the bricklaying EWPA that you are
especially interested in – and you would be eligible for this route if you have
at least five years’ experience in bricklaying – then the principle of how it
works is simple.
When you visit our NVQ centre on the Leeds side of
Bradford in West Yorkshire, you will be able to use the skills you have
acquired over the years to complete a task, which will then be assessed.
Your skills as a bricklayer will be evaluated by
our NVQ assessor, through a combination of the practical assessment itself,
witness testimonies, professional discussion, and direct questioning.
The bricklaying EWPA is made up of five mandatory
units, covering such matters as conforming to general workplace safety,
conforming to efficient work practices, the movement and handling of resources,
and the erection and setting out of masonry structures.
You can further support your bid for this EWPA by
picking out an optional unit from a long list, encompassing aspects such as
erecting masonry cladding in the workplace, the maintenance of slate and tile
roofing, and the installation of drainage, to name just a few.
If, as a consequence of going through the EWPA
process, you show that you have reached the standards of the NVQ Level 2
qualification, you will be told of this by the assessor at the end of the day.
As a successful candidate, you will gain the Cskills Awards Level 2 NVQ Diploma
in Trowel Occupations (Construction) QUA813.
