What is a Construction NVQ?

A Construction NVQ (National Vocational Qualification) is a recognised, work-based qualification designed to assess the competence, skills, and knowledge you already use every day on site. These work-based qualifications are essential for career progression, access to higher-level CSCS cards, and demonstrating professional competence within the construction industry.

NVQs are the most practical route for experienced workers, supervisors and managers to formally achieve the qualifications required for skilled and management positions. Trusted Construction Training helps learners turn existing site experience into a recognised NVQ qualification through a streamlined, supportive assessment process.
