Fast-Track Black CSCS Card for Experienced Construction Site Managers!

The Level 6 NVQ Diploma in Construction Site Management is designed for managers on site who are responsible for managing projects, controlling standards and evaluating work. Learners are expected to be employed already in site management roles, overseeing, or starting to oversee larger projects and sites with the authority, accountability and decision-making, which comes with site management roles, in their respective discipline/s. They may work across one or more of the following disciplines: Civil Engineering, Highways Maintenance, Residential Development, Conservation, Retrofit and Demolition.

How does the assessment work?

CADUK offering this qualification though our unique ‘discussion-style’ assessment process. Our  assessment is conducted verbally through a series of recorded ‘professional discussions’ with your assessor. This method involves no written work.

Your assessor will initially request a number of workplace documents (i.e. such as RAMS, toolbox talk, induction, drawings, programme, F10, RFI, etc) to be submitted to them electronically. Once your assessor has viewed and approved these documents you will arrange a series of sessions (usually conducted through teams/zoom/phone) where you will work through the units of the qualification through discussion.

How long does the fast-track assessment take?

It is expected that the qualification will be completed in 4 weeks or less through this assessment route. This route is particularly beneficial for those whose CSCS cards need urgent renewal/upgrade.

Is this route suitable for those new to the role?

Unfortunately not, this assessment is only appropriate for established site managers that are time-served – generally with 2+ years experience and confident in their role. These managers will have already gained the skills, knowledge and experience required to complete this qualification on the job, over time, in a real construction-site environment. We aren’t teaching you how to become an site manager through this fast-track route, you’re proving to us that you’re already doing it competently and safely.

This assessment route is therefore not suitable for assistant site managers or those who are still developing their abilities as a site manager and/or have only been in the role for a short time.

Am I eligible for this assessment?

Before we enrol candidates onto any of our NVQs we ask them to complete a profile tool (click here complete it) for one of our assessors to review. The assessor will contact the candidate directly for a brief discussion; essentially to make absolutely sure that they have access to the qualification both in terms of experience and the availability of the necessary workplace documentation and to assess whether the candidate would be suitable for the assessment.

How much does the qualification cost?

The qualification costs £1850 + VAT. This includes registration fees etc.

Is this CITB Grant claimable?

Yes, CADUK are a CITB Approved Training Organisation (ATO). This enables CITB registered companies to claim back £1500 on completion of this qualification through the Short Period Qualification Grants scheme. This includes small employers (i.e those with a wage bill of less than £80k) who don’t have to pay the levy. This grant applies to directly employed staff on the payroll and all subcontractors.
