- Level 4 NVQ in construction site supervision
A construction NVQ is a benchmark qualification that proves your occupational competence to current and future employers. NVQs also benefit employers by helping them to develop and retain a trained, skilled workforce. Some NVQs lead to membership of professional organisations such as the Chartered Institute of Builders (CIOB) and the Chartered Association of Building Engineers (CABE) as well as Gold or Black CSCS cards.
Having previously worked in education, Liam started a new career path as a site labourer while studying for his NVQ in construction site supervision. He received his certificate in June 2022 and is now looking forward to starting his next NVQ in construction site management.
“I would highly recommend the NVQ to anyone working in construction. The qualification really cements all the knowledge you need to perform the assistant site manager role on site.
“I really believe that the way NHBC are delivering their NVQs should be standard practice across all industries. Evidence-based learning has been a brilliant way to gain a qualification.
“My assessor was brilliant. He really gave me the confidence to take the NVQ in my stride and was always happy to answer any questions I had.”
With great support, regular meetings, clearly explained expectations and prompt response to questions, my assessor ensured that I had everything in place that I needed to undertake this course.
This was a really enjoyable course that has assisted me further with my development and knowledge for my role as a building inspector. My assessor provided me with excellent support and guidance and I have recommended this course to colleagues.
In my role as a building inspector, the modules that I completed within my NVQ helped to assist me expanding my knowledge of building control and my assessor provided great support throughout.
The Level 6 NVQ Diploma in Construction Site Management (Residential Development) covers all aspects of site management and is perfect for people working in an assistant site manger role like me. My assessor worked around my busy schedule and offered good quality feedback and guidance.
I would highly recommend the NVQ Level 6 Construction Site Management course to others. My assessor has been excellent, giving me support throughout and answering questions as needed to allow me to push on at a great pace.
Throughout my Level 6 Diploma in Construction Site Management (Residential Development), my assessor made time for me when I was struggling with certain tasks. They made me feel comfortable undertaking the diploma and I would recommend learning with NHBC.
My experience of undertaking a Level 6 Diploma in Senior Site Inspection was relaxing and enjoyable, and I owe this to my assessor who was excellent in how he delivered and explained the training and any professional discussions.
My assessor was on hand throughout my Level 6 Diploma in Construction Site Management (Residential Development). He was incredibly helpful and quickly identified my learning needs and adapted his approach to best support me. Based on my experience I would definitely recommend an NVQ Diploma from NHB
I completed the NVQ levels 4, 6, and 7 in Construction, and they were excellent. The allocated tutor was well-versed, extremely knowledgeable and supportive throughout. I would encourage anyone involved with site management to complete their course through the NHBC.
This achievement wouldn’t have been possible without the dedication and support from my tutor.
