Frequently asked questions
All of our assessors for the Site Inspection Level 3 NVQ are highly experienced, qualified construction professionals who are in a position to add real value to your qualification.
Most of our assessors for this qualification are Members of The Institute of Clerk of Works and Construction Inspectorate and/or Members or Fellows of the Chartered Institute of Building.
CADUK offer two methods of completing this Level 3 NVQ:
- The qualification can be completed interactively online, at your own pace, via our online ePortfolio system.
- Our assessor can come to your location to help you complete the qualification on-site. (Please note that additional charges may apply depending on location).
We provide support for a period of up to 1 year, however this qualification is easily achievable in 1 – 3 months depending on the motivation of the candidate.
Once candidates are registered onto this qualification they are able to apply for the Red Experienced Technical, Supervisor or Manager CSCS card immediately. This card is issued on a temporary basis, while a Construction related NVQ is being achieved. The card is valid for three years and cannot be renewed.
Once the NVQ has been successfully completed and verified off by the centre, we will request your NVQ certificate from the awarding body. Normally this takes around 7-10 days to arrive. You can use this certificate to apply for the Gold CSCS card.
NVQs are UK regulated qualifications, they are valid for life and do not expire.
CADUK are an Award Winning NVQ centre that have delivered over 1000 construction-related NVQs.
The online ePortfolio system that we developed ourselves was recently recognised at the Scottish Qualification Authority (SQA) Star Awards at the Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum in Glasgow for our “unique approach to delivering qualifications”.
We strongly believe that the true value of an NVQ is only realised when the qualification has been earned. Experienced people can gain so much by actually going on a journey of self reflective practice, empowering themselves with knowledge by taking ownership of their qualification, then being judged and challenged honestly and professionally by an industry expert.
