A construction NVQ is a benchmark qualification that proves your occupational competence to current and future employers. NVQs are a great way to build your career in construction and some can also lead to membership in professional organisations as well as Gold or Black CSCS cards.
NHBC offer NVQs from Levels 3 to 7 in subjects focussed on construction site management, site inspection and contract operations. We work hard to make sure we match candidates with the right level of NVQ to set them up for success.
Calum explained ‘I’d been in construction for some time, and I’d also been over to New Zealand for a year to work on Union Green, a project which really broadened my experience. I think getting more experience is great especially alongside qualifications like NVQs which formally evidence the things you’ve learned; it’s really useful if you want advancement. I’d already completed my Level 4 and felt more than ready to progress to Level 6.’
Calum has now achieved his NVQ Level 6 and is enjoying his role as a Senior Site Manager for Countryside Partnerships at Orton Copse in Peterborough.
Richard Bambridge, Future Talent Lead at Vistry Group, Countryside Partnerships parent group said ‘It’s great that Calum has completed his NVQ and he is a huge asset to the team at Orton Copse. Vistry is committed to investing in formalised qualifications and personal development, and everyone at Countryside applauds Calum for his hard work to achieve his Level 6.’
NHBC is committed to raising standards in house building by championing high-quality homes and are proud to offer qualifications that aid individual career progression and meet the needs of house builders.
Having recently completed my Level 6 NVQ Diploma in Construction Site Management (Residential Development) I can honestly say that it has benefited my role. The course was well explained from start to finish and communication was clear throughout.
The Level 6 NVQ Diploma in Construction Site Management (Residential Development) covers all aspects of site management and is perfect for people working in an assistant site manger role like me. My assessor worked around my busy schedule and offered good quality feedback and guidance.
The support from my assessor was second to none and he was always available when needed. Without a doubt he made the whole thing a lot less complicated and I think that’s the reason I completed it on the time frame.
It was a good collaboration with my assessor and I want to say thanks for his support throughout this journey. Without a doubt, my assessor has added a lot to my construction knowledge - from building standards to legal responsibilities on health and safety for individuals and site conditions.
I found the NVQ particularly tough with getting the knowledge out of my head onto paper but with the help of my assessor once I started the course I completed it in 3 months.
I thoroughly enjoyed the course from start to finish and the help and guidance from the assessors is excellent.
