On-Site NVQs for Groundworkers and Construction Operatives

Groundworks and construction operations are the foundation of every build. From preparing sites and installing drainage to laying kerbs, concreting and reinstatement, skilled operatives keep projects moving and ensure work is done safely and to the correct standard. With constant demand across housing, civils and commercial work, gaining a recognised qualification can open more opportunities.

If you already work in construction operations or groundworks, an on-site NVQ is the simplest route to getting qualified. There’s no classroom learning and no written exams — everything is assessed while you carry out your normal tasks on site.

The NVQs below support the main duties performed by groundworkers and general construction operatives.
