Most Level 2 construction NVQs focus on trade or operational competence — proving someone can carry out their primary role safely and effectively.
However, the industry is placing increasing emphasis on environmental responsibility, waste management, and sustainable site practices. Clients, principal contractors, and auditors now expect evidence of how environmental impacts are managed — not just that the core job function is performed.
That’s where the Level 2 NVQ Certificate in Removal of Non-Hazardous Waste (Construction) becomes a powerful competence extension.
When combined with almost any construction NVQ, it strengthens your workforce profile with formal, assessable evidence of environmental responsibility, safe systems of work and sustainability.
And with the CITB short qualification grant, it can be achieved at no additional net cost when delivered alongside an existing NVQ qualification.
This qualification goes far beyond basic waste handling.
It requires learners to demonstrate competence in live site conditions, covering:

This is exactly the type of evidence-based competence increasingly requested in:
Adding this linked NVQ alongside others helps employers demonstrate:
It also provides a clear audit trail of competence — not attendance or experience — supporting modern expectations around governance, risk control and building safety responsibilities.
This linked NVQ can be completed alongside most construction NVQs for a reduced package rate. Where eligible, a £600 CITB Short Qualification Grant is payable on successful completion — meaning the additional qualification can be achieved with no additional net investment.
How it works:
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 linked competence Non-Hazardous Waste NVQ 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 Level 2 Non-Hazardous Waste NVQ to your qualification and turn everyday site activity into recognised environmental competence — at no additional net cost (subject to eligibility).

You can complete both NVQs together or select one individually, depending on your role and needs. They are separate qualifications, not a mandatory package.
NVQ pricing varies by qualification level (Level 2, Level 3, Level 4, etc.), the selected occupational pathway, and whether a complementary qualification is included. We will confirm prior to booking the full qualification price, the staged payment breakdown, the grant eligibility position, and the expected net cost
Grant is typically available to CITB levy-registered employers. Eligibility depends on current CITB criteria, which we will check for you before enrolment.
No. Both NVQs are competence-based and assessed in the workplace.
There is no classroom learning or exams required. Assessment is based on evidence gathered while you carry out your normal job role.
Assessment is carried out by a qualified NVQ assessor and may include:
– On-site observations
– Photographic evidence
– Professional discussions
– Work records and supporting documents
All evidence is gathered during normal working activities.
Completion time varies depending on experience and the availability of evidence, but most learners complete their NVQs within 6–12 weeks.
No formal qualifications are required. However, you must have relevant on-site experience and demonstrate competence in your role.
The Level 2 NVQ Certificate in Removal of Non-Hazardous Waste (Construction) provides recognised NVQ certification. Learners can apply for a CSCS Blue Skilled Worker Card, provided they also hold a valid CITB Health, Safety & Environment Test.
Yes. Workforce Skills Support provides full guidance and support throughout the grant application and claim process.
