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 depth of knowledge and experience that Mark brings to the table is evident in every interaction.

It is designed for individuals already working in the floorcovering industry who wish to obtain a formal qualification through on-site assessment.
This NVQ covers a wide range of floorcovering roles, including:
You will be assessed on the specific areas of floorcovering relevant to your job role.
The duration varies depending on your experience, the type of work you carry out, and how quickly you can collect suitable evidence. Most learners complete the NVQ in 6–12 months.

A qualified assessor will visit your workplace to observe your performance and ensure you meet the NVQ standards. The process is flexible and can be completed at your own pace.
