Frequently asked questions

Who will be my assessor?

All of our assessors for the Construction Contracting Operations 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 are Members or Fellows of the Chartered Institute of Building.

How is the assessment carried out?

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).

What is the duration of this NVQ?

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.

When can I apply for my CSCS card?

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.

How long is this qualification valid for?

NVQs are UK regulated qualifications, they are valid for life and do not expire.

Why should I choose CADUK for my NVQ?

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.

Emily Phillips

14:07 04 Jun 19

I cannot praise Nick and the team at CADUK highly enough. I have just sent my guys through their Level 3 NVQs and the entire process has been completely seamless; no stress, no hassle, no worry. Nick has spent (quite literally) hours on the phone with me answering every question I have, sharing his knowledge and providing unrivaled help, guidance and support. He has been honest with me from the start, foregoing quick money making opportunities to ensure I had the best service and course that was suitable for the needs of my employees and it is this that I praise him the most highly for as CADUK are not looking to make a 'quick buck' but to provide you with the best package possible. My guys all agreed that the assessor, Ade, was friendly, reassuring and supportive and made them feel completely at ease on the day. I honestly could not recommend CADUK enough and certainly myself will not now go with any other provider. Nick, Ade and the team - thank you! It has been an absolute delight to work with you and I look forward to many more opportunities in the future!

Edward Barton

I have gone through an exciting journey with CADUK, completing two NVQs; the Level 6 in Construction Contracting Operations Management and the Level 6 in Occupational Health and Safety Practice. I therefore recommend Caduk to anyone who is looking forward to progress in their career and enhance their skills in the construction industry or health and safety. Caduk has been extremely supportive to me and they have been very effective in identifying the appropriate level and type of courses for me to progress in my career. Gary and Nick are always approachable and ready to advice when required. The assessors are very experienced and the team in general is excellent. I still remember the first day I contacted them and I don’t regret it at all, one of the best decisions of my career! Caduk - a no brainer! They certainly help you to believe even stronger on what you can achieve and on what you know: their inspiring statement cannot be more true - you don’t know what you really know! With CADUK you progress even further and they ensure to make everyone aware of their potentiality via their programs, support and expertise. Once again thanks for your support and professionalism!

Very pleased with the format of CADUK training services. I enrolled for an NVQ6 and was given all the encouragement needed to pursue the course to completion. There was an induction to start with which guided me through the format (which looks very strange if you don't do the induction) and regular contact with the assigned reviewer to monitor progress and guide if needed. The audit and management team were also very helpful and supportive. Very happy and would definitely use CADUK again

I came across CAD UK as I was researching companies that offered Level 7 in Construction Management. After emailing for further information, I was contacted by Nick who was able to answer all my questions and give me an in depth insight into the course itself and exactly what it entailed. Nick is extremely knowledgeable and easy to chat to so I booked on the course straight away. As well as Nick, I also dealt with Gary who's knowledge of the course and industry is extensive and impressive and he gave me some very helpful examples of the type of information that was required and how to find my way around their online portal. Initially this was quite confusing but once I had grasped what was required, I found the system fantastic. Mary was in charge of the administration side of things and she did a fantastic job of keeping in touch and ensuring everything was going to plan and she was always on hand to answer any queries. I have now completed my Level 7 and I can highly recommend the service and the assessor they assigned to me he was fantastic and very knowledgeable . I would like to thank everyone involved for making the experience a positive one.

i Have recently completed my NVQ Level 6 in Senior Site Inspection with CADUK. The process from enrolling to completing was second to none. The induction process was very informative and easy to understand. This was all thanks to Gary, Nick and Mary, they really made the process easy.
