NVQ Assessments for Experienced Construction Workers
If you already work in construction but need an NVQ to obtain or renew your CSCS card, SuperSkills can help.
We specialise in NVQ assessment for experienced tradespeople, recognising the skills you already use on site and turning them into nationally recognised qualifications.
There are no classrooms and no unnecessary training courses.
Your qualification is achieved through assessment of real work carried out on site.
For many candidates this means gaining their NVQ quickly, simply and conveniently while continuing to work.
Which Construction NVQ Do You Need?
Most people contacting us simply want to know:
“Which NVQ do I need for my CSCS card?”
The answer depends on the type of work you carry out.
We’ve been helping construction workers with NVQs and CSCS cards since 2007, so we know the process can seem complicated. If you’re unsure what you need, you can always call us for free and impartial advice.
Level 2 – Working in a Construction Trade
Most experienced tradespeople require a Level 2 NVQ in their occupation.
Level 2 normally allows application for the Blue CSCS Skilled Worker Card, which is required on many construction sites.
Level 3 – Advanced Craft Qualifications
Some experienced tradespeople choose to progress further and achieve a Level 3 NVQ in their trade.
Level 3 qualifications recognise more advanced work and higher levels of responsibility.
Achieving a Level 3 trade qualification normally allows application for the Gold CSCS Advanced Craft Card.
You do not need to already have the Level 2 qualification to start on Level 3.
Supervising Work on Site
Workers responsible for organising or supervising work may require the:
Level 3 NVQ Diploma in Occupational Work Supervision
This qualification normally leads to the Gold CSCS Supervisor Card.
Starting Work as a Site Labourer
Workers entering the industry may need the:
Level 1 Health and Safety in a Construction Environment qualification
This leads to the Green CSCS Site Labourer Card.
If you need the Site Labourer card, you can use our online Health & Safety In Construction course.
