Looking for a full guide to the NVQ level 2?
If you’re thinking of pursuing a National Vocational Qualification (NVQ) in the UK, you may be wondering how long it will take to complete a level 2 NVQ. In this blog post, we’ll answer that question and give you an overview of the NVQ process. NVQs are vocational qualifications that are nationally recognized and recognized by employers. They are available at level 1-8. Level 2 NVQs are aimed at skilled workers. Having a level 2 NVQ or an equivalent qualification is a prerequisite for obtaining the CSCS blue card.
What is an NVQ?
NVQs are nationally recognised qualifications that are available at different levels, from entry level right up to level 8. They are designed to help people develop the skills and knowledge they need to do their job.
NVQs are competence-based qualifications. This means that they are based on what you can do in the workplace, rather than on theoretical knowledge. To achieve an NVQ, you will need to show that you have the required skills and knowledge to do your job to a certain standard.
Generally, a level 2 NVQ takes between two and four months to complete. However this varies from learner to learner, depending on how much time they can dedicate to the process. There is no reason that a dedicated learner cannot complete the NVQ in less time. Similarly, learners with full schedules can take their time to complete the NVQ.

How long does it take to complete a level 2 NVQ?
The time it takes to complete a level 2 NVQ will depend on the individual’s circumstances, such as how much time they can commit to learning and whether they already have the relevant experience. As such, it is impossible to give a guaranteed length of time. However, most of our clients finish their level 2 NVQ within 2-4 months.
What are the benefits of completing an NVQ?
There are many benefits of completing an NVQ, including gaining industry-recognised qualifications, developing new skills and knowledge, improving job prospects and earning potential, and gaining a competitive edge in the job market.
NVQs are widely recognised by employers as a measure of competence and are often used as a selection criterion for jobs. They can also lead to career progression and higher earnings.
NVQs are available at different levels, from entry level to level 8 (the highest). The length of time it takes to complete an NVQ varies depending on the level of the qualification and the individual’s circumstances.
How to get started with an NVQ
When it comes to taking your NVQ, there are a few things you need to do in order to get started. First and foremost, you need to choose the right NVQ for your needs. There are different types of NVQs available, so be sure to pick one that is best suited for your career goals.
Once you have chosen the right NVQ, the next step is to find a provider who can offer you the qualification. There are a number of ways to do this, but the easiest way is to search online for providers in your area. Portland Training operates in many parts of the UK, so there is a good chance we are able to service you. See our full list of level 2 NVQ’s here NVQ Level 2 – Portland Training.
After finding a provider and enrolling in an NVQ programme, the last thing you need to do is complete the coursework. This can vary depending on the type of NVQ you have chosen, but typically it will involve completing a number of assignments and tasks set by your tutor. Once you have successfully completed all of the required tasks, you will then be awarded your NVQ certificate.
Conclusion
There is no set time frame for completing a level 2 NVQ. The time it takes to complete one will depend on the individual’s previous experience and qualifications, as well as how much time they are able to commit to studying. However, on average, it is possible to complete a level 2 NVQ in around 2-4 months.
