An NVQ (National Vocational Qualification) is a competence-based assessment of the skills, knowledge, and experience you already have. It’s designed for professionals who have learned ‘on the job’ over years and are established in their role but lack formal recognition of their skills. NVQs prove to an assessor that you carry out your job safely, effectively, and in line with industry standards.
No. NVQs don’t involve exams or trick questions. They’re designed for practical people who have developed their skills in a real working environment. The only test required is the CITB Health Safety and Environment test, which is needed for your CSCS card application after completing the NVQ.
No prior qualifications are necessary. You could go from having no qualifications to achieving a Level 7 NVQ (the highest competence-based qualification in Construction). The key is proving that you’re already working at the required level and have been in the job for an appropriate amount of time.
The timeframe largely depends on your motivation. We provide support for 12 months, but qualifications are typically achievable within 1-3 months.

Our assessors are highly experienced, qualified construction professionals who have done the job themselves. We carefully select a particular assessor for each learner to ensure that workplace experiences are aligned and that feedback and guidance are useful, relevant, and rewarding.
The NVQ assessment is a comprehensive process that evaluates your skills, knowledge, and experience in your field without requiring site visits or time off work. It involves several methods to assess your competence, including a practical skills assessment, review of evidence (such as method statements, risk assessments, toolbox talks, time sheets, inspection reports, videos, and photographs), a knowledge-based assessment, professional discussions with your assessor, and witness testimony from colleagues or supervisors.
