and Construction Inspectorate (ICWCI)
This is the benchmark NVQ for experienced and active site inspectors, who monitor project quality and integrity, and implemented H&S systems; whilst ensuring progress is maintained and required communication between stakeholders fulfilled, up until project handover.
Candidates who may consider this qualification would include, Clerks of Works, Quality Inspectors, Architectural, and Site Inspectors.
Candidates will need to demonstrate practical skills in relevant areas, to prove you have the ability to carry out your work safely, and to an excellent standard. You will also need to show understanding and awareness, to prove you have a good level of work-related knowledge and understanding.
Note: There is a Level 3 version of this NVQ, for those developing skills and assisting in Site Inspections.
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 may be carried out remotely).
Recorded discussion, written Q&A, 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, 3-6 months is an achievable duration for competent candidates
Cost
The standard cost of this Level 6 NVQ is £1800 plus VAT at the prevailing rate. Grant money can be claimed back at completion by companies registered with CITB.
