NVQ Terms & Conditions for Learners
English Language Requirement
All candidates must have the ability to speak, read, and write in English to a sufficient level to understand assessment requirements, communicate effectively with assessors, and complete written tasks.
Disclosure of Learning Difficulties
Candidates must inform Safe On Site prior to registration if they have any learning difficulties or additional support needs. This enables us to make reasonable adjustments where possible.
Age Requirements
Learners under the age of 18 must provide written consent from a parent or legal guardian before registration can be accepted.
Registration and Identification
All candidates must complete the registration form in full, supplying accurate personal details. Proof of identity, such as a valid passport or driving licence, must be provided.

Candidates are required to collect and submit the evidence as outlined in their assessor’s guidance and Safe On Site communications. Evidence must meet awarding body standards.
IT and Digital Skills
Basic IT skills are essential. Candidates must be able to use a smartphone, tablet, laptop, or other device to access our ePortfolio platform and upload evidence.
Remote Meetings
Candidates must be able to attend scheduled Zoom meetings or video calls with their assessor if required as part of the assessment process.
Site Visits
Onsite assessor visits are not included in the standard cost of the NVQ (except where plant NVQs specifically require them). Any additional site visits may incur extra charges.
Occupational Competence
Candidates must already be experienced and competent in their trade or job role. For example, applicants for a Level 2 Bricklaying NVQ must be currently working as a bricklayer and have sufficient prior experience.

Acceptable forms of evidence include, but are not limited to:
Evidence Validity
Evidence must not be more than 12 months old at the time of submission and must be drawn from real-life workplace tasks. Simulated evidence will not be accepted.

Authenticity of Work
All evidence submitted must be the candidate’s own work. Learners must have permission to share workplace documentation and are strictly prohibited from submitting falsified or plagiarised evidence.
Assessor Relationship
Candidates must treat assessors with respect, professionalism, and courtesy at all times. The assessor’s role is to guide and support you through the process.
