On-Site NVQs for Site and Project Managers

Managing a construction site means taking responsibility for safety, planning, communication and quality. Many managers work their way up from the tools, learning through experience — but to take on larger projects, meet client requirements or progress your career, a recognised NVQ is essential.

If you’re already organising day-to-day operations, leading teams or overseeing major parts of a build, an NVQ proves your competence at management level. All assessments happen on site while you work, so there’s no classroom learning and no written exams.

The NVQs below offer clear routes into higher-level management roles across construction.

NVQ Levels Available for Construction Management

The Level 6 NVQ in Construction Site Management is ideal for those taking charge of full site operations, overseeing health and safety, managing teams, controlling resources and ensuring work meets programme and quality standards.

For experienced managers working at a senior level, the Level 7 NVQ in Construction Senior Management provides the qualification needed to operate strategically across major projects, lead multiple teams and take responsibility for organisational performance.

Both qualifications are assessed through real evidence from your job, giving you a practical way to gain a recognised management qualification and move forward in your career.
