If you’re working as a construction site manager and want to prove your skills, the NVQ Level 6 is a recognised way to do it.
It’s a flexible, work-based qualification that focuses on your competence in a live site environment. Many learners complete the course in just a few months, without stepping into a classroom.
We offer the NVQ Level 6 in Construction Site Management through trusted awarding bodies like ProQual and GQA. This qualification proves that you can manage construction sites safely, efficiently, and to a professional standard.
You don’t need to attend any classroom sessions. You’ll build a portfolio based on your day-to-day work and job role.
You’ll cover key areas like health and safety, environmental management, resource planning, and client handover. We focus on real responsibilities that reflect your actual work on site. This makes the NVQ a practical choice for site managers who want to progress.
Most learners complete the NVQ in around 4 to 6 months. That said, the timeline depends on how quickly you can gather the evidence needed. If you already handle a wide range of responsibilities on site, you may finish sooner.
Your progress depends on a few key things. If you’ve got clear evidence available, you’ll move through the NVQ faster. Your own workload and availability will also play a part.
Our assessors are flexible, but delays can happen if site visits are needed or schedules clash. We’ll always aim to keep you on track with regular support and monthly check-ins.
We don’t offer a formal fast-track option, but experienced candidates can move quickly through the course.
If you’re in a role that covers a broad range of site responsibilities, you may already have most of the evidence you need.The more prepared and organised you are, the faster you can complete the NVQ.
We assess the NVQ through a digital portfolio that you build on our ePortfolio system. You’ll collect real evidence from your current role, things like site documentation, emails, and project plans.
We also ask you to answer knowledge-based questions and take part in professional discussions. If needed, you can include videos or photos showing your work on site.
From the moment you enrol, your assessor will support you throughout the process. They’ll check in monthly and help keep your portfolio on track.
You can stay in touch via Zoom, phone, or email, and we’ll arrange site visits if required. We make the process as flexible as possible to suit your workload.
You don’t need to take time off to complete this NVQ. It’s designed to fit around your day job, with assessments based on the tasks you already carry out. Everything is built around what you do on site, not in a classroom
