What to expect from the NVQ

Our Level 3 NVQ Diploma in Construction Contracting Operations is ideal for those working in site technical support roles who want formal recognition of their skills. If you’re already supporting project planning, estimating, or site operations on a daily basis, this qualification helps you turn that hands-on experience into a recognised diploma in construction contracting.

The course is suited to anyone involved in construction prepare estimates, construction prepare programmes, or those working with project information systems and welfare systems. It’s a smart next step for site technical support personnel looking to boost personal development or move towards more senior job roles on-site. 

 Your NVQ is assessed in a real workplace environment. You won’t need to sit any exams. Instead, you’ll work with a qualified assessor to build a portfolio of evidence that proves you meet the national occupational standards.
Here’s what’s typically included in the assessment process:
  • A professional discussion where you can demonstrate competence against knowledge criteria
  • A witness testimony from someone who has seen your work on live projects
  • Copies of project documents, such as how you helped monitor project methods or construction prepare estimates
  • Photos and videos of tasks you’ve completed in line with the qualification structure
Your assessor will provide immediate guidance to help you meet the assessment criteria and support you throughout. 

 Once you’ve successfully completed the Level 3 NVQ Diploma in Construction Contracting Operations, you’ll be eligible to apply for the CSCS Gold Card. This card is widely recognised across the construction industry and proves that you’re qualified to carry out site technical tasks without supervision.

Having the CSCS Gold Card opens the door to new opportunities in construction site supervision and may lead to more responsibility or higher-level qualifications in site management. 

 
If you're aiming for supervisory and management positions, this qualification provides a strong foundation to get there.
This NVQ covers core mandatory units like maintaining working relationships, managing construction works, and contributing to project methods. These units are not just boxes to tick. They are key to becoming someone your team relies on to monitor costs, recommend improvements, or control project design information effectively.
By proving your occupational competence, you’ll stand out when applying for site management or senior site inspection roles. And if you're already thinking about what’s next, this diploma helps you prepare for further development. Whether that’s a higher level qualification, occupational work supervision, or senior construction site management roles, you’ll be ready to take the next step with confidence.
