The Level 3 NVQ Diploma in Insulation & Building Treatments is a vocational qualification for individuals working in advanced insulation and building treatments roles within the construction sector. It assesses your competence in installing and maintaining a variety of insulation systems and building treatments, including room‑in‑roof insulation, hybrid walls, external wall insulation, internal insulation, park homes insulation, and framed section insulation, based on performance in real workplace environments.
This NVQ is designed for experienced operatives who work with different types of insulation and building treatment systems and want to formalise and demonstrate their practical skills and knowledge. Candidates may work on external wall insulation boarder or finisher roles, internal insulation tasks, applying sprays or blown insulation, and other treatment applications.
The NVQ cost can vary. Please see our payment options.

Assessment is workplace‑based and may include one to three visits from a qualified assessor. It involves observation of your practical work, professional discussions, review of a portfolio of evidence, and confirmation of competence in the specific tasks and units you complete as part of your normal work role. Evidence might include photos, job sheets, method statements, and other documentation demonstrating your ability to meet national occupational standards.
