Construction Senior Management NVQ
Level 7 NVQ - (Black CSCS Card)
This qualification is recognised by the Chartered Institute of Building (CIOB) and enables the holder to apply for Chartered Membership through the shortened (fast track) Professional Review process.
The Level 7 Construction Senior Management NVQ may be suitable for experienced senior managers and construction professionals.
You should have extensive knowledge of construction management, and be operating at a senior capacity within your organisation. It is essential that candidates oversee other staff and are involved in team building and leadership.
Typical candidates include timeserved and competent directors, contract managers, senior project managers, and heads of department. Other positions may also be suitable – please contact our office for further details; we’ll be happy to discuss this with you.
Recorded discussion, Q&A, observation and examination of paperwork, electronic programmes and data form key assessment methods for this NVQ.
Process
The process of delivery for this qualification varies from candidate to candidate. However, we do not implement an e-portfolio for candidates to manage; your assessor oversees this process.
Depending on circumstances and planning, your assessor may visit you in your workplace to carry out face to face assessment activities (although the whole NVQ is often carried out remotely).
Written Q&A, recorded discussion, and examination of documents, e-systems, reports, programmes, etc., are key assessment techniques for capturing evidence of candidate areas of responsibility, and level of understanding. A third-party reference (witness testimony) may be used as another source of evidence, to help confirm your areas of competence.
Duration
The timescale between registration and completion varies for different candidates – candidate experience and willingness are key factors here. However, 6-12 months is an achievable duration for competent candidates.
Cost
The standard cost of this Level 7 NVQ is £2000 plus VAT at the prevailing rate. Grant money can be claimed back at completion by companies registered with CITB.
