NTDG courses are a benchmark for quality.

Our highly experienced trainers can guide candidates through the technicalities and practical application of new demolition operative skills from course to site.

The National Demolition Training Group is the only organisation able to issue CCDO cards that are recognised and requested by those who commission demolition projects in the UK. Due to close affiliation with NFDC and other industry bodies, you can be certain that an NDTG course delivers the most up-to-date training for you or your workforce.

NVQ

Demolition NVQ’s are work-based qualifications which recognise the skills and competency of the candidate. Studying for an NVQ is a great way to develop a career in the demolition industry and, once completed, they demonstrate that the candidate has the required knowledge and technical skills to work safely and effectively on site.

The industry-acclaimed CCDO Card Scheme requires cardholders to complete an NVQ to convert ‘Trained Operative’ cards to full and renewable ‘Competent Operative’ cards within a set time period. Levels of NVQ vary with each CCDO card, so please check – or ask NDTG for advice – on which NVQ Level is required to qualify your specific job card.

NDTG is an accredited NVQ Centre offering NVQ Level 2, Level 3+, Level 4 and Level 6 Qualifications.

Contact our team today to find out more about the NVQ Units, and Rules of Combination.

Funding

NDTG works to secure funding for its members to make demolition training for the workforce more accessible and affordable. Over 2019/20 many CCDO courses were partially funded by CITB, a government-backed scheme aiming to improve training, standards and opportunities across the construction industry.

All NDTG members registered with the CITB are now eligible for the new Skills & Training Fund, launched in April 2020. For details and support of how to claim and spend your Skills & Training Fund, please contact the NDTG Group Training Officer, Iain Kirk on 01442 217 144 (Option 2)
