Pearson in Practice is proud to be working with Tarmac, having signed a nationwide agreement to provide NVQ assessment and training. Primarily, Pearson in Practice is delivering support to National Road Planing (NRP), National Contracting, BDP Surfacing and MBP Surfacing.

In order to fit around NRP’s busy operation and get as many of their team started, CLW undertook a series of on‐site profiling sessions in Rand and Thatcham, including hiring a nearby community hall on a Saturday morning to make sure that all of the workforce could attend a session without losing time away from the job.

Since October 2008, 353 of Tarmac’s employed or subcontracted workforce have either completed or are near to completing an NVQ through Pearson in Practice.

Level 2 NVQs delivered across construction and logistics operations include: Highways Maintenance, Plant Operations, Roadbuilding, Driving Goods Vehicles and Carry and Deliver Goods. Site Supervision has also been delivered at Level 3. Pearson in Practice has also arranged additional training for 24 employees in CPCS Loading Shovels, ADR and the Site Supervisors Safety Training Scheme.
