The Compass NVQ Level 7 Construction Senior Management programme is aimed at experienced Construction Senior Managers.  Our unique approach can help you complete in as little as twelve weeks.  If you have the right amount of experience, but not the right qualification – this route is ideal.  Compass have helped hundreds of Managers get their Black CSCS card which is a nationally recognised standard in the construction industry.

 

There are two different pathways for this qualification:
Production
Commercial

Whichever pathway you select, the Compass core modules will include:

  1. Managing People
  2. Managing Teams
  3. Ethical Management
  4. Managing Meetings
  5. Managing Project Processes

Unlike most qualifications, this NVQ takes place mainly at work and you can decide how long it takes you to complete – most experienced Senior Managers complete within 3 to 6 months.

  • You will demonstrate your performance by uploading documents, such as reports; minutes for the core modules.  We give you a list of which documents you need to provide
  • Your knowledge of construction senior management is captured through written questions
  • An Assessor will come and visit you, to see you in action and he will review your  evidence with you – we have Assessors located across the country so we can come to wherever you’re working in mainland England
  • Your chosen pathway specific units and optional units are assessed with you during your Assessor visit.

To enrol onto this course you must:

  • Be over 19 years old.
  • Currently be in a construction senior management role with oversight over multiple high value and/or complexity projects.
  • Working in mainland England.

FAQS

Is there any prior knowledge or training I need before I do this qualification?

No. There are no entry requirements although you do need to be in a site management role so you can be assessed. If you are new to site management you will still be able to enrol onto the qualification although it may talk you longer to complete it.

How does the process work?

When you enrol, you are provided with a logon to our online platform, MyQual. This guides you through:

  • Your induction and introduction to your qualification
  • Some reading material followed by questions you need to answer
  • What documents you need to upload
  • Your site visit requirements
  • Your Assessor gets in touch within 7-10 days of your enrolment and will then give you feedback on how you’re doing each step of the way, until your completion.
How easy is MyQual to use?

MyQual has been designed to guide you easily step by step through the process. We have a dedicated Customer Service team in case you run into any difficulties who can talk you through how it works. There are also some helpful videos along the way to give you some hints and tips.
