On-Site NVQs for Curtain Wall Installers

Curtain walling is a specialist trade within the building envelope. Installers work with glass, aluminium and panel systems to create exterior façades that are weather-tight, secure and built to a high standard. These systems are used on commercial buildings, offices, flats and public projects, making skilled installers highly valued in the industry.

If you already work in curtain wall installation and want to gain a recognised qualification, an on-site NVQ is the simplest route. There’s no classroom learning or written exams — everything is assessed while you carry out your normal work.
