As an ex-serviceman (WO1 RSM) I left the military with the standard military qualifications which I feel unfortunately didn’t support my experience gained throughout a career spanning over twenty five years. I personally feel the Level 7 NVQ Diploma in Construction Senior Management has firstly enhanced my CV greatly and has now provided me with an opportunity to apply for CIOB membership, and I would highly recommend the course provided by CADUK . I was introduced to CADUK through a colleague who had recently passed the qualification and informed me of the support he received from the company, which was first class. I’m happy to confirm the support and advice I received was of the highest standard and would gladly recommend Gary, Nick & David to anybody wanting to develop their professional qualifications, thanks for all your kind support and help, greatly appreciated.

I recently completed the NVQ Level 7 in Construction Senior Management and immediately went on to get my CSCS Black Management Card. I then successfully applied for MCIOB, Chartered Construction Manager.
The support and encouragement I got from Gary Pollard and his team was fantastic. This has opened up a lot of doors for me and I highly recommend using CAD UK.

Senior Design Manager, Colmore Tang Construction Ltd
I completed my Level 6 NVQ in Construction Site Management with CADUK last year. I have done a few training courses and NVQs in the UK but my experience with CADUK was very different. The support and encouragement I received from them was really unbelievable. Whenever I ran out of steam, they were always there to encourage me… until I finally was able to sail over the finish line in style. It was a journey of self discovery for me and my assessor was able to help me draw out things I wasn’t even aware that I know, so much so that in the process of expressing my experience within the industry, I was also able to gain some knowledge that had so far proven invaluable to my career development. Thanks again to all the guys at CADUK. You really are the best.

I have recently completed a NVQ Level 7 in Construction Senior Management and found the support and help offered by CADUK to be invaluable. They were there to assist and offer guidance throughout the entire process from initial profiling and the choosing of modules through to final assessment.
If you are looking to undertake a course I would highly recommend them.
Mark Mills MCIOB AssocRICS
Regional Operations Manager, FH Harvey and Sons
I am a Senior Project Manager and I have been working for Mace Limited for 10 years in the Major Project & Infrastructure division, we have worked with CADUK for a number of years where they have helped us develop a number of our managers through their NVQ scheme at both level 6 and level 7. In addition to this I have developed myself through CADUK through Levels 6 & 7, and also achieved the NVQ Assessor and NVQ Internal Verifier qualifications.
I have been actively involved with the NVQ programme for Mace Limited with CADUK and have assessed and internally verified a number of candidates to allow them to successfully achieve their qualifications. This in turn enables them to achieve recognition from the CSCS to obtain their black cards, but also the route to gaining membership to the CIOB.
Martyn Tuttey FCIOB FCABE
Senior Project Manager, Mace
For 14 years I worked as a military construction contractor, but as I saw this market closing in I decided to make the move to oil and gas. I quickly found out that experience, no mater how much, was simply not enough. I now needed professional recognition. I needed a development process to get me in the game.
CADUK offered me just that. I started with my NVQ7 in Construction Senior Management and set myself a goal of achieving MCIOB and assocRICS. CADUK were fast and professional in their mentor-ship. They encouraged and pointed me in the right direction regarding my goals and I am now very happy to say that all have been achieved. Without CADUK supporting me I would not be where I am today!

I have recently completed my NVQ Level 7 in Construction Senior Management and I cannot speak highly enough of all members of their team.
They provided me with an excellent service throughout and it was money well spent. I gained a vast amount of knowledge from each completed unit and it has already shown its benefits with instant career progression!
Thank you to you all at CADUK.

The Opportunity to study with CAD UK provides a platform for the future and also a future in the middle east. It’s the most direct route into the CIOB (Chartered Institute of Building) who is recognised worldwide.
For me personally obtaining the NVQ Level 7 in Construction Senior Management (which equates to a master level) was money well spent. I achieved a qualification that suited my lifestyle and allowed me to obtain corporate identity within an established institute. The support by Gary Pollard and his team is first class, you wont be disappointed.
Keep up the good work CAD UK, you make a difference to peoples lives.
Darren Allen FCIOB MRICS
Operations Director, Bluu Qatar
I undertook the Level 6 NVQ in Construction Contracting Operations with CADUK. I would highly recommend the service they provide. Gary was brilliant from the start assisting me with informed advice and ensuring the qualification I was looking to undertake was the right route suited to my abilities and requirements.
David the assessor was also exemplary in his assistance and knowledge.
Great service and support from a great team. 10/10
