How you’d get it

How you’d get this certificate

  1. Zavmo teaches you. You learn the units one-to-one with an AI tutor, on your own work.
  2. You register with an approved centre. That is a college, training provider or employer Engineering Construction Industry Training Board has approved to offer this qualification. Zavmo is not an approved centre, so you register with them, not with us.
  3. The centre assesses, and Engineering Construction Industry Training Board awards. A qualified assessor at the centre judges your evidence, and the certificate comes from Engineering Construction Industry Training Board.

More on studying for a qualification

01What it is

ECITB qualifications enable learners to demonstrate the specific skills, knowledge and behaviours needed to perform a particular role.

These are the units Engineering Construction Industry Training Board registers against this qualification. It is a catalogue, not a syllabus. Which of them you take depends on the combination the qualification requires, and that is set by the awarding body rather than by us. Every unit here is regulated. Zavmo teaches towards them on your own work, and work done here is recognised as prior learning under the agreements we hold.

Zavmo is not an awarding body, is not an approved centre, and is not affiliated with Engineering Construction Industry Training Board. It does the teaching and the mapping. Engineering Construction Industry Training Board sets this qualification and awards it, and a qualified human assessor makes the assessment decision.

04The credits

The credits, and who awards them

Level 2 credits are regulated, and they are awarded by Engineering Construction Industry Training Board rather than by Zavmo. They don’t vanish when a subscription ends or a website closes. They travel to any employer, and Zavmo keeps the map of what you have covered and what is next.

What you would be collecting

Interpret and follow documentation and proceduresMaintain working relationships, communicate effectively, support diversity and inclusionPerform basic marking out in engineering constructionPerform basic shaping activities by material removal in engineering constructionPrepare work area, tools, materials and equipment in an engineering construction environmentReinstate the work area after engineering construction activitiesSupport the assembly of components in engineering constructionSupport the removal and dismantling of components in engineering construction

Each one is a real unit registered against this qualification.

How you’d practise it

You don’t watch this. You do it.

You are not assessed on remembering this. You are assessed on applying it, analysing it, evaluating it and producing something. So that is what the practice is: projects, role play and your own live cases, with a tutor in the room.

  • Draft the real one Create

    You do “Interpret and follow documentation and procedures” on a real document of your own. Zavmo works on the draft you have to send anyway, so the coursework and the job are the same piece of work.

This is your Mind Palace on learn.zavmo.ai. Every skill above comes from this role's own record, not an example borrowed from another job. A node lights up when you evidence it, and what you build stays yours between jobs. That is the part a course cannot do.

How you would learn this

One to one, on the work you already do

A tutor sets the task against your own job and marks the reasoning, at your pace. There is no cohort to fall behind.
