QNH or QFE ?

Excuse the probably daft question, but. When I hear 'altimeter nnnn' or read 'Qnnnn' in a METAR can I always assume that is QNH?

I have not heard a value being explicitly stated as QNH by ATIS, METAR or ATC. I read that QFE may be provided, but I have never encountered it. How would QFE be described in an ATIS transmission? Presumably it is just a fixed offset from QNH?


Thanks
