What Is The White Card?

The White Card is a temporary, non-renewable card for people who hold a relevant degree, professional qualification or membership, but who have not yet completed a full construction NVQ.

It covers Academically Qualified Persons (AQP), Professionally Qualified Persons (PQP), and specialist categories such as ACRIB refrigerant handlers, giving qualified professionals time-limited site access while their NVQ is finalised.
