What criteria needs to
be met for an assessment?
To be assessed for a Certass MTC Skills Card, the site operative must:
- Be at least 18 years old.
- Have worked in the relevant field for at least 2 out of the last 5 years or have an NVQ relevant to the assessed area.

What does the
assessment consist of?
Firstly, you will have to do an online knowledge assessment, made up of 40 multiple choice questions. Once you pass, you will be able to download your Knowledge Certificate upon completion.
Then you will have an onsite observation of your work carried out by an assessor, including a discussion with them, followed by a final telephone discussion with the assessor.
If you pass the assessment, you will receive a knowledge assessment certificate and a skills card to prove to customers that you are meeting Building Regulations and industry best practice.
