1Introducing Edexcel NVQs/Competence-based qualificationsWhat are NVQs/Competence-based qualifications?National Vocational Qualifications (NVQs)/Competence-based qualifications are workbased qualifications that give learners the opportunity to develop and demonstratetheir competence in the area of work or job role to which the qualification relates.NVQs/Competence-based qualifications are based on recognised occupationalstandards for the appropriate sector. Occupational Standards define what employees,or potential employees, must be able to do and know, and how well they shouldundertake work tasks and work roles. These standards are written in broad terms toenable employers and providers to apply them to a wide range of relatedoccupational areas.NVQs/Competence-based qualifications are outcomes-based with no fixed learningprogramme, therefore allowing flexible delivery to meet the individual learner’sneeds. At Level 2 and above, these qualifications are recognised as approved trainingand development for employees who have been in the workplace for some time. Thequalifications are also a way of inducting, training and developing new entrants intothe workplace. Qualifications at Level 1 can be used in Traineeships, which enablesprogression to entry level employment or to Apprenticeship programmes.Learners will work towards their qualification in the workplace or in settings thatreplicate the working environment as specified in the assessment requirements.Colleges, training centres and/or employers can offer these qualifications as long asthey have access to appropriate physical and human resources and have thenecessary quality assurance systems in place.Sizes of NVQs/Competence-based qualificationsFor all regulated qualifications, Pearson specifies a total estimated number of hoursthat learners will require to complete and show achievement for the qualification –this is the Total Qualification Time (TQT). The TQT value indicates the size of aqualification.Within the TQT, Pearson identifies the number of Guided Learning Hours (GLH) thatwe estimate a centre delivering the qualification might provide. Guided learningmeans activities, such as lessons, tutorials, online instruction, supervised study andgiving feedback on performance, that directly involve tutors and assessors in teaching,supervising and invigilating learners. Guided learning includes the time required forlearners to complete external assessment under examination or supervisedconditions.Pearson Edexcel Level 2 NVQ Diploma in Construction and Civil Engineering Operations (Construction)Specification – Issue 1 – April 2019 Pearson Education Limited 20191
In addition to guided learning, other required learning directed by tutors or assessorsincludes private study, preparation for assessment and undertaking assessment whennot under supervision, such as preparatory reading, revision and independentresearch.As well as TQT and GLH, qualifications can also have a credit value – equal to onetenth of the TQT, rounded to the nearest whole number.TQT and credit values are assigned after consultation with users of the qualifications.NVQs/Competence-based qualifications are generally available in thefollowing sizes: Award – a qualification with a TQT value of 120 or less(equivalent to a range of 1–12 credits) Certificate – a qualification with a TQT value in the range of 121–369(equivalent to a range of 13–36 credits) Diploma – a qualification with a TQT value of 370 or more(equivalent to 37 credits and above).2Pearson Edexcel Level 2 NVQ Diploma in Construction and Civil Engineering Operations (Construction)Specification – Issue 1 – April 2019 Pearson Education Limited 2019

3 Qualification purposeQualification objectivesThe Pearson Edexcel Level 2 NVQ Diploma in Construction and Civil EngineeringOperations (Construction) is for is for construction operatives in civil engineering whoare responsible for one of a number of tasks, such as laying pavements, kerbs,drainage, concreting or excavation and learners who work in, or who want to work in,the construction and civil engineering operations sector.The qualification gives learners the opportunity to: develop the technical skills, role-related knowledge and understanding, andbehaviours required to work in a job role such as construction operative,responsible for tasks such as laying pavements, kerbs, drainage, concretingand excavation demonstrate competence in the relevant job roles gain recognition for existing skills and knowledge achieve a nationally-recognised Level 2 qualification develop personal growth and engagement in learning.Relationship with previous qualificationsThis qualification is part of the replacement group of qualifications for those formerlytitled 'Construction Operations and Civil Engineering Services’, following a review ofNational Occupational Standards. This has resulted in title changes for qualificationsin this branch of civil engineering.Progression opportunitiesWe also offer a Level 2 NVQ Certificate in Construction and Civil EngineeringOperations (Construction) which is also available for those responsible for carryingout other tasks, which are deemed to take a shorter amount of time to becomecompetent in, therefore requiring a smaller qualification. Learners who achieve thePearson Edexcel Level 2 NVQ Diploma in Construction and Civil EngineeringOperations (Construction) can progress to supervisory and managementqualifications, for example occupational work supervision or site supervision atLevels 3 and 4 respectively.Pearson Edexcel Level 2 NVQ Diploma in Construction and Civil Engineering Operations (Construction)Specification – Issue 1 – April 2019 Pearson Education Limited 20195
