Most Level 2 construction NVQs focus on trade or operational competence — proving someone can do the job.
But increasingly, clients, auditors and tender panels want evidence of how work is carried out, not just that it can be done.
That’s where the Level 2 NVQ Certificate in Removal of Non-Hazardous Waste (Construction) becomes a powerful bolt-on.
When combined with almost any Level 2 construction NVQ — including Construction & Civil Engineering Operations and Groundworks pathways — it strengthens your workforce profile with formal, assessable evidence of environmental responsibility, safe systems of work and sustainability.
And with CITB grant funding, it can be achieved at no net cost.
This qualification goes far beyond basic waste handling.
It requires learners to demonstrate competence in live site conditions, covering:
Crucially, learners must also show how they:
This is exactly the type of evidence-based competence increasingly requested in:
Adding this NVQ alongside a core Level 2 qualification helps employers demonstrate:
It also provides a clear audit trail of competence — not attendance — supporting modern expectations around governance, risk control and building safety responsibilities.
This bolt-on NVQ can be completed alongside most Level 2 construction NVQs through our Pay-Then-Reclaim route.
How it works:
The result: £0 net cost for eligible CITB levy-registered employers.
Eligibility for grant funding is confirmed before enrolment.
Environmental responsibility, sustainability and safe waste management are no longer “nice to have”.
They are actively assessed, commercially relevant, and increasingly linked to competence and compliance expectations across construction.
By adding the Non-Hazardous Waste NVQ as a bolt-on to a core Level 2 qualification, employers can strengthen their compliance position, improve tender responses, and upskill their workforce — without increasing training costs.
Add the Non-Hazardous Waste NVQ to your Level 2 construction NVQ and turn everyday site activity into recognised, cost-neutral competence.

– Photographic evidence
– Professional discussions
– Work records and supporting documents
All evidence is gathered during normal working activities.
Completion time varies depending on experience and evidence availability, but most learners complete their NVQs within 6–12 weeks.
