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.
The course content was relevant, and the learning portal was easy to navigate and user friendly. David my tutor explained all the processes in detail and led the course well.
The qualification really cements all the knowledge you need to perform the assistant site manager role.
Highly recommend the course to further your personal development and it does fit into your everyday working life.
