Take a look below at the main reasons why the Construction Related NVQ qualification is so important.
A Construction NVQ is a qualification used to demonstrate a person competency in their construction-related role. Construction NVQs are available from level 2 – 7. An assessor will review the learner’s ability to do their role from the evidence they have provided.

An NVQ allows you to gain knowledge in both the theory and practical elements of your role; this will help you move forward with your career progression.
For example; a Site Supervisor may complete an NVQ Level 6 in Construction Site Management. By completing this qualification they are showing that they are fulfilling the role of a Site Manager.
