# DMR Training

> DMR Training (legal name: DMR Training & Consultancy Limited) is a UK construction training provider and approved NVQ assessment centre. It delivers nationally recognised NVQ qualifications from Level 2 to Level 7 across construction and low-carbon retrofit trades, assessed on site, with CSCS card support and government funding guidance. Founded in 2013 by Dave Radley; offices in London and Manchester. Rated 4.8 out of 5 from 67 Google reviews (June 2026).

DMR Training helps construction workers and employers gain nationally recognised qualifications through on-site NVQ assessment, rather than classroom courses. Experienced tradespeople are assessed against the NVQ standards while working, leading to a recognised qualification that underpins CSCS card applications. DMR also supports employers with team upskilling, tailored training, IQA/centre consulting for other providers, and help checking eligibility for government NVQ funding (with an affordable self-funded option where funding is not available).
