Training & NVQ
Train For
The Job
From academic diploma to site-ready certification.
We turn a core-academic engineering diploma into a working career. Bring the qualification you earned at school or university, and we provide the vocational training, NVQs, and cards that certify you for the trade you want to do.
How It Works
Diploma In,
Career Out
Every route into the skilled trades starts with a recognised academic foundation. To enrol in our training you must already hold a diploma in one of the four core engineering disciplines, earned at a school or university.
We cannot — and do not — sell the diploma or the degree itself; that has to be studied for in education. What we sell is the vocational training that sits on top of it: the NVQ, the test, and the card that let you legally do the job on a UK site. Want to qualify as an NVQ electrician? You'll need an electrical engineering diploma. Training toward carpentry? A mechanical engineering diploma. Water treatment, nuclear, or energy work? A chemical engineering diploma.
Earn a Core Academic Diploma
Study at a school or university for a diploma in one of the four core engineering disciplines. We do not sell diplomas or degrees — that qualification is earned in education.
Choose the Job You Want
Pick the trade or role you want to work in. Your diploma determines the routes open to you — an electrical diploma leads to NVQ electrician, a mechanical diploma to carpentry or pipework, and so on.
Buy the Matching Training
Enrol in the vocational training that certifies you for that job — NVQs, CITB tests, and the CSCS or ECS card you need to work on site. That is what we sell.
