I would like to extend my sincere thanks to Mark and the entire team at Workforce Skills for the outstanding training and support provided throughout my Level 7 NVQ in Senior Site Management. From start to finish, the process was handled with professionalism, clarity, and a consistently high standard of delivery.

The Level 3 NVQ Diploma in Stonemasonry (Construction) is a vocational qualification designed for experienced stonemasons. It enables you to demonstrate your practical competence and knowledge in advanced stonemasonry techniques—specifically banker masonry or memorial masonry—based on real workplace performance.
This NVQ is for people working in stonemasonry roles, particularly those specialising in banker masonry or memorial masonry. It is suitable for experienced operatives who want formal recognition of their advanced skills and the ability to work independently in their occupation.
The NVQ cost can vary. Please see our payment options.
There are no formal academic entry requirements. You should, however, be already working in a relevant stonemasonry role—either banker masonry or memorial masonry—and have sufficient experience so you can demonstrate your skills and gather real workplace evidence for assessment.
Assessment is workplace‑based and focused on your actual work activities. A qualified assessor will observe your performance, review your portfolio of evidence, and hold professional discussions with you. The evidence you provide will demonstrate your competence in tasks such as producing complex stone components, creating and repairing memorials, planning work activities, and working safely to industry standards.
