What to expect from the NVQ

 This NVQ is designed for individuals who already have experience working on construction sites or in engineering environments. If you're currently involved in civil engineering tasks or supporting construction site management, this qualification will help you formalise your skills and progress in your career.

Our course suits working professionals who want to prove their competency through practical evidence, rather than classroom-based exams. It also supports those transitioning from general construction roles into more technical positions like civil engineering technician or engineering technician.

If you're aiming to work toward a Gold CSCS Card and need a recognised qualification backed by the Institute of Civil Engineers, this NVQ is a great step forward. 

This diploma in civil engineering will help you demonstrate your understanding of construction principles and develop skills required to meet client and industry specifications. You’ll work with an assessor to prove your ability through real-world work, guided by our online system.

You’ll gain:

  • Knowledge of construction design and construction technology
  • Experience in structural mechanics and structural integrity
  • Practical understanding of site engineering and managing work schedules
  • Skills in operating quality systems and using appropriate software systems
  • Familiarity with risk management procedures and waste management practices
  • Techniques for using data gathering tools and producing design models

These technical solutions are not just theoretical. You'll learn to apply them in line with relevant codes and industry expectations. 

 
Yes. If you're interested in a civil engineering technician apprenticeship or an advanced apprenticeship route, completing this NVQ helps tick important boxes.
Our Level 3 NVQ in Civil Engineering for Technicians helps learners prepare for the apprenticeship standard in civil engineering. Whether you're already employed or seeking entry into a relevant professional engineering institution, this course builds the underpinning knowledge needed for long-term success.
In fact, completing this NVQ can support entry into a higher apprenticeship or future registration with an engineering council, especially when paired with the appropriate end point assessment. 

 This qualification opens the door to many future pathways, from site-based roles to technical support positions within the built environment. Once you've completed the seven mandatory units and passed your CITB test, you'll be eligible to apply for the Gold CSCS Card.
From there, you can:
  • Take on a role as a civil engineering technician or engineering technician
  • Pursue further training in construction contracting operations or construction site management
  • Use your qualification to apply for a civil engineering apprenticeship or higher education course
  • Help deliver projects that meet strict client and industry specifications
  • Develop design models and support sustainable construction solutions
Whether you're focused on flood management, coastal engineering, or general project delivery, this NVQ helps you prove your skills and move ahead with confidence.
