NVQ Level 2 in Dry Lining Fixing is a work-based qualification covering erecting metal or timber stud partitions and ceiling grids, fixing plasterboard sheets to framework and masonry backgrounds. It's assessed from evidence of the work you're already doing on-site — no exams, no classroom study — so it's suited to anyone already active in this trade who wants to formalise their skills. This is the qualifying route to a Blue Skilled Worker CSCS card.
