Who should take NVQ Level 2 Cold Roof Insulation?
The NVQ Level 2 in Solar Collector Roofer course is for experienced roofers who meet the recognised occupational standards. The qualification is a validation of your skills and experience.
The Onsite Assessment and Training (OSAT) route allows you to achieve your NVQ through workplace assessment at your own speed.

Your assessor will check your eligibility before we sign you up to the qualification.
Assessment Process
We deliver the NVQ in Roofing Occupations – Solar Collector Roofer through the Onsite Assessment (OSAT) route. We will assign you a roofing assessor who will work with you for the duration of the course as you build a portfolio of evidence.
Types of evidence may include:
- An onsite observation while you work, carried out by your assessor in your workplace
- Photographs or videos of you working
- References, employer endorsements or witness testimonies verifying your work as a solar collector roofer
- Detailed job logs of work you have completed
- A recorded professional discussion with your assessor either face-to-face or over the telephone
- Coursework covering the ‘theory’ of roofing, and construction health and safety
Once your assessor is satisfied you have submitted sufficient evidence, our internal verification team will check your portfolio. They will then claim your NVQ certificate with NOCN.

Although roofers can take up to six months or more to achieve their NVQ Level 2, we find that most complete the qualification in 2 to 3 months.
Ultimately, the qualification will fit around your professional and personal commitments. Work towards it at a speed you feel comfortable.
