All NVQ Units
Writing the National Vocational Qualification (NVQ) started out as a European project with 18 partners from eight countries. The aim was to identify and document outcomes for training in Earth Building which would be recognised, not just in Europe, but anywhere Earth Building and training are taking place.
The Units have been written in a collaborative approach with experience of professionals in various sectors from many nations, ensuring their applicability in any situation. Whether in a college or on site, the way training is delivered does not affect the use of these outcomes, as long as they are assessed by a skilled person.
The NVQ covers a wide range of topics, including:
Selecting and using materials, components, tools and equipment
Preparing and erecting Earthen structures
Conserve or restoring Earthen structures
Adopting safe, healthy, and environmentally responsible work practices
Interpreting information
