Already working as a site supervisor or construction manager? Turn your years on the tools into a nationally recognised qualification. Our construction management NVQs are assessed on site while you work, with no college required. From the Level 3 Occupational Work Supervision to Level 6 and Level 7 management NVQs.
A Construction Management NVQ is a work-based qualification that proves you can run construction sites to a nationally recognised standard. If you’ve spent a few years supervising trades or managing your own jobs, it’s the straightforward route to a black CSCS Manager card and the contracts that actually pay. Sitting at Level 6 and Level 7. Both degree-equivalent Construction Management NVQs are assessed on real site evidence, not coursework, which is exactly why main contractors treat them as proof of competence rather than a course attended
We’ve been doing this since 2013. Our assessors aren’t desk-bound academics. They’re experienced tradespeople who’ve spent decades on the tools themselves. They come to you, watch you do what you already do, and put your portfolio together around your actual day-to-day work.
Most learners qualify for government funding for their construction management NVQ. Check to see if you qualify.

A college construction management course teaches beginners the basics in a classroom, often over a year or more. A construction management NVQ is different: it certifies the skills you already use, through on-site assessment while you work, with no college required. If you are already working in the trade, the NVQ is the faster route, and it unlocks the CSCS cards employers ask for. Choose the NVQ Level 6 Construction Management for contracting operations managers or the NVQ Level 7 Construction Senior Management for senior managers.
