Experienced Workers Assessment Route
October 4, 2024
In 2019, the industry was advised that individuals who previously sought SNIJIB Grandfather Gradings will need a qualification from 1 January 2025. This is to meet the Construction Leadership Council requirements, which state that all industry cards must operate with nationally recognised qualifications for all occupations.
SQA launched the assessment route for these individuals to complete the SVQ Level 3 in March 2024. The assessment route is designed to test the practical competence and underpinning knowledge of candidates across the full range of Plumbing and Heating SVQ Level 3 competencies. The assessment method combines the use of witness testimonies, employer endorsement, practical assessment, professional discussion and questions and answers.
If you or your employees need to complete the Experienced Workers Assessment Route, please contact the SQA Co-Ordinator or Head of Plumbing and Heating at your local college to arrange a meeting.
