About the course
The Level 2 NVQ Diploma in Demolition is for operatives who strip out, dismantle and demolish structures safely. The CCDO card scheme used in demolition asks for an industry-relevant NVQ, and this is the Level 2 one for operatives.
Your evidence comes from real jobs on your own sites around Sheffield and Rotherham. Typical evidence: photos of soft strip, segregation and dismantling work you've done, the method statements and demolition plans you worked to, and statements from your supervisor or chargehand.
It doesn't take you off site. Once you've enrolled and paid online, we register you and an assessor guides you through the portfolio. Most of the time goes on collecting evidence; the whole NVQ typically takes 6 to 8 weeks.
The NVQ doesn't expire. CCDO cards also need the demolition Health, Safety and Environment test, an approved asbestos awareness course and a card-specific CCDO course, so check the current rules with the National Demolition Training Group.
Who it's for
Demolition and strip-out operatives working for a demolition contractor who need a Level 2 NVQ for the CCDO scheme.
What you'll learn
- Working safely: health, safety and welfare on site
- Productive working practices: drawings, specifications and programmes
- Removing and segregating materials for recycling and disposal
- Dismantling structures safely in sequence
- Moving, handling and storing resources

Questions about the Level 2 NVQ Diploma in Demolition
Something else? Call 07939 593032.
Do I need the NVQ finished before I apply for a CCDO card?
The CCDO scheme has accepted applicants who have the NVQ or are registered and working towards it, alongside its own test and courses. Rules change, so check with the National Demolition Training Group before you apply.
How long does the Level 2 NVQ in Demolition take?
Typically 6 to 8 weeks. The biggest factor is how quickly you gather the evidence: if you're working as a demolition operative every day and send photos and statements as you go, it moves quickly.
Do I have to come to your Rotherham venue?
No. An NVQ is assessed on the work you do, so there are no course dates or classroom sessions. Our venue at Bradmarsh Business Park in Rotherham is used for CITB classroom courses such as SSSTS and SMSTS; for the Level 2 NVQ in Demolition the evidence comes from your own jobs.
