BCAS developed the NVQ to address a critical industry need: ensuring engineers possess the qualifications to work safely and effectively across different sites offering engineers a structured pathway to achieve the necessary credentials. The NVQ employs flexible, digital assessments to accommodate engineers working in remote or hybrid environments. Learners can submit evidence digitally, allowing for ongoing assessments without geographical constraints. Furthermore, the qualification is accessible to individuals from diverse backgrounds, with no formal entry requirements, thus promoting inclusivity within the sector. With its robust design, the qualification is scalable and adaptable to industry changes. It is supported by comprehensive resources for learners and assessors, ensuring consistency and fairness in evaluations. Early feedback from participants has highlighted its positive impact, ensuring engineers remain compliant with site requirements while gaining essential skills.
