A Draughtsperson NVQ Level IV is a skilled professional trained to create technical drawings that communicate design information using both manual drafting and Computer-Aided Design (CAD) tools. These drawings serve as a vital link between design concepts and construction or manufacturing work. The training under the National Vocational Qualification (NVQ) Level 4 equips individuals with the ability to produce detailed drawings for buildings, mechanical parts, surveying, and building services like plumbing and electrical systems.
Through this program, candidates gain competencies in technical coordination, preparation of construction and service drawings, communication, team collaboration, and adherence to occupational health and safety practices. The qualification opens up career paths in various sectors, including civil, mechanical, and surveying fields, enabling employment as drawing officers, assistants, or further progression into higher NVQ levels and specialized areas.
