NVQ Level 2 in Plant Operations
What is the NVQ?
An NVQ (National Vocational Qualification) is a work-based assessment designed to demonstrate your competence in operating specific types of plant machinery safely and effectively. It’s industry-recognised and highly valued by UK construction employers
