Asbestos removal supervisors with experience working in the role can gain recognition of competence by gaining a Level 3 NVQ qualification.
Through ARCA supervisors just need to undertake one qualification, not two, to gain the Level 3 NVQ Diploma in Supervising Licensed Asbestos Removal (Construction).
This qualification has been developed specifically by ARCA for asbestos removal supervisors, following consultation with industry, and is a route to getting a CSCS card.
Following an induction, an ARCA Assessor will be pro-active in arranging assessments on-site, to observe, discuss and record the candidates' knowledge and understanding of their role, therefore gathering evidence of competency. The Assessor is also there to encourage and guide the candidates through the process.
Experienced supervisors can generally achieve this NVQ within 3 on-site assessment days, covering nine units; seven mandatory and two units chosen by the candidate. The number of assessment days will depend on the skills of, and preparation by, the candidate. Once the ARCA assessor is satisfied that the candidate’s evidence folder meets the criteria, it will then be verified. Following successful verification an NVQ certificate will be issued to the successful candidate. Need a CSCS Card? A candidate can apply for a temporary Red CSCS card while working towards achieving this Level 3 NVQ. On successful completion ARCA can streamline the candidate’s Gold CSCS Card application all the candidate needs to do is pass a CITB HS&E (specialist/ supervisory) touch screen test. Further information on the NVQ content, assessment process and fees is available to download here.
