About this course

NVQ Level 2 Curtain Walling Course in Southampton. Classes run at GFTS Southampton, combining online study with time at the centre.

The course confirms you have the skills and knowledge to install curtain wall systems on site. It covers a range of system types and installation environments, so it suits the variety of work curtain wall installers actually do. All work must meet relevant legislation and health and safety requirements. The course takes around 12 months and is open to people already working in the industry.

You'll finish with an NVQ Certificate in Curtain Wall Installation at Level 2.

Who this course is for

The aim of this qualification is to confirm that the candidate has the skills and knowledge to install Curtain Wall systems on site. It is not expected that all curtain wall installers will carry out identical tasks as there are many variations in system types and installation environments so the qualification had been developed to allow as wide an uptake as possible. All of the work needs to be completed in accordance with relevant legislation, regulations and health and safety guidelines.
