Who is the course for?

This NVQ Level 3 Construction Contracting Operations qualification is aimed at technical individuals working in a wide range of site or office based roles in the construction industry. Our unique approach can help you complete this in as little as eight weeks.  It covers competency standards in Planning; Estimating; Surveying; Buying and Site Technical Support roles.  If you have sufficient experience, but do not have the required NVQ qualification to register for your CSCS card then this is for you.

The CSCS card is fast becoming a national safety & skills standard for individuals and companies in the construction industry. The government aims to register every competent construction worker throughout the CSCS scheme. Many companies are now being asked to certificate their workforce in order to qualify for government and local authority contracts.
