An assessor will call to confirm it’s the right route, then you can start straight away.
If you work in construction management and want formal recognition for your experience, our Level 6 and Level 7 NVQs are designed for professionals who manage people, processes and projects on site. These qualifications confirm your competence and leadership in the construction industry and lead to the Black Manager CSCS Card. They can also support applications for professional memberships such as MCIOB and MICWCI, subject to meeting the requirements set by those organisations.
At CADUK the assessment process is practical, flexible and based entirely on the real work you already do. There is no written coursework, no exams and no need to take time off site. You complete your NVQ remotely through structured discussions and evidence review with an experienced assessor. Most candidates complete within four to twelve weeks, depending on their level of experience and how quickly they can provide suitable evidence.
Whether you manage teams, oversee operations, lead projects or focus on quality inspection and compliance, CADUK provides a supported route to gaining the qualifications and recognition your experience deserves.
The assessment is based entirely on your real work, not classroom learning. You’ll provide evidence from your role and take part in structured professional discussions with your assessor via Zoom. There’s no written coursework, no exams and no site visits required. Most candidates complete their NVQ within 4–12 weeks, depending on experience and evidence readiness.
You can start by clicking the red “Book Your NVQ Now” button on any of the NVQ pages on our website. This will take you to our short profiling form, which helps us confirm which qualification best matches your current role and experience. The form also gives you an overview of the unit criteria and the types of evidence you’ll need to complete the NVQ.
Once your form is submitted, one of our assessors will contact you by phone to carry out a short profiling discussion. This helps us confirm that the NVQ is achievable for you and that you have the skills, knowledge, experience and evidence needed to complete it successfully.
If the assessor confirms your suitability, we’ll send you an invoice for payment. Profiling is completely non-committal. If you decide not to go ahead, you can simply ignore the invoice. If you choose to proceed, you can make payment and start your NVQ the same day.
You’ll use evidence from your normal job activities such as meeting minutes, site diaries, progress reports, quality inspection records, risk assessments and project correspondence. Your assessor will help you decide what to include and how it links to each qualification unit. Evidence should be recent and clearly show your competence and leadership on site.
Most experienced candidates complete their NVQ within 4–12 weeks. The timeframe depends on how quickly you can provide suitable evidence and arrange your professional discussions. Your assessor will help you plan and stay on track throughout the process.
