Level 3 Certificate in Dry Stone Walling
This Dry Stone Walling Qualification has been specifically designed in partnership with the Dry Stone Walling Association of Great Britain and is supported by Lantra Sector
Skills Council.
How do I achieve the Qualification?
The Qualification is entirely externally
assessed by practical assessment methods
that assess the learners’ ability to build
sections of the dry stone wall (and other
features as appropriate to the level
undertaken) within a given time period. The
assessment methods reflect the practical
nature of the qualifications which are based
on the actual skills required by a practical dry
stone waller.

Can I progress through the levels?

and improve their opportunities.
What are the benefits of completing these Qualifications?

walling skills and practices. In addition to the mandatory units, the Level 3 Certificate contains a
range of optional units which enable learners to test out new skill areas and develop a range of
