Learners are required to respond to questions by collecting evidence from their workplace and providing a written or verbal statement against this evidence. In this statement they will essentially describe how they use this evidence in their work role and provide examples of projects and scenarios where the documentation was used. The assessor will review the evidence that has been collected to ensure that all the areas of the NVQ units have been covered.

All of our assessors for the Level 6 NVQ Diploma in Construction Contracting Operations Management are Members or Fellows of the Chartered Institute of Building (CIOB). They are highly experienced, qualified construction professionals who are in a position to add real value to your qualification.

We carefully select a particular assessor for each individual learner to ensure that your workplace experiences are aligned and that the feedback and guidance provided is useful, relevant and rewarding.

Your assessor will provide advice and feedback on request via phone, Skype, email and through our ePortfolio system.

Achievement of this level 6 NVQ is entirely down to the learner’s own motivation.

We provide support for a period of 12 months, however this qualification is realistically achievable within 1-3 months.

Generally CADUK carry out the assessment for this qualification interactively, online though our bespoke ePortfolio system, although we also offer the option of an on-site assessment where this is the preferred route.

The Construction Contracting Operations Management NVQ at Level 6 is comparable to a Bachelor Degree in terms of academic value.

Academic qualifications such as HNCs/HNDs/degrees are an opportunity to enter an industry. Competence-based qualifications however are far more relevant to the experienced construction manager because they provide recognition of skills, knowledge, experience and confidence that has already been developed over time in the industry.

This Level 6 NVQ provides the opportunity for learners to apply for Chartered Membership with the CIOB through the Full Professional Review. Generally, applicants will need at least 3 years’ experience at a management level.

The Professional Review involves the submission of an experience and competence report complete with supporting documentation such as a CV, organisation chart and CPD information.

A candidate may be referred for interview if the application does not demonstrate a full understanding of and application of the competences.

Achievement of this Level 6 NVQ enables individuals to apply for professional status with the following organisation:

• Membership of The Chartered Institute of Building.

If learners successfully achieve Membership of The Chartered Institute of Building, they can also apply for:

• Associate Membership of The Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors.
• Associate Membership of The Chartered Association of Building Engineers.

Learners that take advantage of these memberships will be eligible to use the following post-nominal letters after their name:

John Smith MCIOB, AssocRICS, ACABE
