PLATFORM LIFTS I MAY 2025

Why NVQ2 Qualifications Matter for Platform Lift Installation – And Why We're Leading the Way

At Premier Lifts, we pride ourselves on not just meeting industry standards — but exceeding them. That’s why we’re actively investing in NVQ Level 2 qualifications for our installation teams.

Platform lift installations, whether for residential or commercial projects are precision-engineered works. Ensuring that our engineers are formally NVQ2-qualified isn’t just a badge of honour — it’s a strategic move to guarantee safety, reliability and quality for our clients. 

What is an NVQ Level 2 Qualification?

An NVQ Level 2 (National Vocational Qualification) in platform lift installation recognises that an installer has: 

1. Completed formal industry training·
2. Demonstrated practical competence across key installation tasks.
3. Shown understanding of health & safety, compliance and technical performance standards.

In simple terms: it means our engineers know how to do the job properly, safely and consistently.

Why NVQ2 Matters for Lift Installation

1. Compliance with Regulations

NVQ2 training aligns with British and Irish standards for lift installation, ensuring our projects meet all compliance and certification requirements.

2. Improved Safety

Lift installation involves working with mechanical systems, electrics, structural elements, and sometimes confined spaces. Trained professionals minimise on-site risks.

3. Consistent Quality

With an NVQ2-qualified team, workmanship is more uniform —meaning fewer installation issues, higher reliability and smoother commissioning processes.

4. Customer Confidence

Clients know their lift has been installed by trained professionals, leading to greater trust and fewer post-installation issues.

5. Future-Proof Skills

NVQ qualifications are not just a box-tick exercise; they encourage continuous professional development, preparing engineers for newer technologies and platforms.

Why Premier Lifts are Investing in NVQ2 Training

1. We believe training is not an expense — it’s an investment in our people and our service.
 
2. A qualified team strengthens our reputation as an industry leader in safe, compliant and technically excellent installations.

3. It means fewer snags, faster sign-offs and happier customers — from domestic users to commercial developers.

4. We’re proud to support our engineers as they work through their NVQ2 training — and proud that every project completed by Premier Lifts reflects the very highest industry standards.

Because when it comes to something as important as accessibility and mobility — only the best will do.
