Will I get a recognised qualification?
YTA is an accredited training provider with many of the top awarding bodies and can offer qualifications in many trade areas at Level 1 nationally recognised certificates, NVQ level 2 and NVQ level 3 if required.
Most of our training courses are accredited to Level 1 NOCN Cskills (Construction Skills – formally CITB). Our trainers are qualified NVQ Assessors and we can also offer NVQ Level 2 & Level 3 in various trades for tradespersons who already have experience.
Our 10 day Cskills accredited courses will provide you with a level 1 accreditations in your chosen trade and no previous experience is needed prior to attending the course.
NVQ’s can be gained through OSAT or EWPA routes. More details LINK HERE.
We also offer intensive non-accredited courses that provide a wealth of knowledge and skills but do not provide the assessments in order to gain a recognised qualification. These intensive non-accredited courses take place in the same training Centre and are run by the same NVQ assessors / trainers but are charged less due to no registration, certification or portfolio verification fees.
Why would I need an NVQ or Qualification?
A more detailed LINK HERE.
YTA offer Cskills level 1 accreditations in Tiling, Plastering, Bricklaying and Carpentry & Joinery. The level 1 accreditations may help you to gain employment and will show potential employers or site supervisors that you have completed an industry standard assessment. Once you have 3 years experience in your trade then you can enrol on the Cskills NVQ level 2 in your trade and the Cskills level 1 qualification can be used to show prior knowledge and experience.
YTA also offers NVQ level 2 qualifications in Tiling, Bricklaying, Carpentry and Plastering. We have two options available to gain the NVQ depending on how many years experience you have. We can offer OSAT (On Site Assessment & Training) if you have 3 or more years experience or we can offer EWPA (Experienced Worker Practical Assessment) if you have 5 or more years experience – the EWPA can be completed in 1 to 2 days at our centre.
Can I really take up tiling, plastering, plumbing, bricklaying, kitchen fitting, carpentry and joinery as a profession?
If you are prepared to put in the hard work we will give you the training to set you on your way, we can also help you with marketing yourself etc. We also provide a FREE advice line Monday to Friday to give you the backup should you require it. All our staff were tradesmen before entering the training arena, all staff are experienced in their own trade and this proves vital to helping you through the course and getting those tips and tricks across so you can gain the most from the courses. We only have a maximum of 5 students per course apart from the plumbing course where we have upto 9 students.
Our courses are very ‘hands on’ practical but are backed up by an email at the end of your course with all the course notes on so you can refer to them at a later date if required. Why not check out our fantastic independent course reviews HERE.
