The Blasting Operations NVQ covers any form of blasting (with the exception of demolition), within the extractive and mineral processing industries.

You may only require specific units of the NVQ as the requirements depend on your role and responsibilities, you may wish to check your requirements as Unit Certification is also available.

Please see Overview of Blasting Operations on right for an Overview of the Award and also the page on the MPQC Shotfiring and Explosive Supervisor Scheme.
