Traffic Marshall NVQ and CPCS or NPORS Cards
A relevant qualification may contribute towards certain CPCS or NPORS card requirements, depending on the specific occupation and card category.
Completing the Traffic Marshall Level 2 NVQ does not automatically provide a Blue CPCS or NPORS Card. You must meet all applicable requirements for your intended card route.
An in-date HS&E test may also be required for the relevant card application.
For current CPCS requirements, check the official CPCS website.
For NPORS information, visit the official NPORS website.
How Long Does the Qualification Take?
The advertised completion timeframe is approximately 4–8 weeks.
Actual completion can depend on the following:
- Existing experience
- Your current job role
- Availability of suitable workplace activities
- Evidence provided
- Assessor availability
- Assessment progress
The 4–8 week period should therefore be treated as an approximate timeframe.
Can the NVQ be completed remotely?
Some communication and evidence collection may be completed remotely where appropriate.
This can be convenient for experienced traffic marshalls who are already working and want to gain a qualification without unnecessarily interrupting their normal employment.
Any practical assessment requirements must still be completed according to the qualification requirements.
Traffic Marshall Qualification for Experienced Workers
The Traffic Marshall Level 2 NVQ is designed around existing workplace competence rather than providing introductory traffic marshalling training. If you already carry out traffic marshalling duties, your normal work activities may provide opportunities to demonstrate the skills required for the qualification.
Someone without relevant practical experience may need appropriate training and workplace experience before an NVQ route is suitable.
