NVQ Construction Management Consulting
Managing a construction site requires a wide range of skills, from leadership and communication to technical knowledge and health & safety compliance. A Construction Management NVQ (National Vocational Qualification) is one of the most effective ways to demonstrate that you have these skills in practice.
At John Green Health and Safety Ltd, we provide specialist NVQ Construction Management consulting, helping candidates at all levels navigate the assessment process and achieve their qualification. Whether you are a site supervisor aiming for career progression or a senior manager looking to formalise your expertise, we guide you step by step towards achieving your NVQ.
What is a Construction Management NVQ?
A Construction Management NVQ is a competency-based qualification that assesses your ability to perform effectively in your role. Unlike classroom-based courses, NVQs are completed through on-site evidence gathering, portfolio building, and professional discussion with an assessor.
You will not need to sit exams or attend lengthy training sessions. Instead, the NVQ recognises your existing experience and practical skills, providing an industry-recognised qualification that validates your competence.
