NVQ Level 6 Construction Contracting Operations Management: How to Get It
The NVQ Level 6 Construction Contracting Operations Management is a prestigious qualification, designed primarily for experienced senior site managers, and contracts managers. It’s a particularly comprehensive qualification, though- so how long does it usually take to complete?
As with all NVQs (National Vocational Qualifications), there is no set timeline. You can take as long as you need; some candidates take several months to complete their NVQ. But with CST Training, it’s possible to be finished within just 8 to 12 weeks. It all depends on how much time and effort you’re able to, and are willing to, put in.
In today’s blog we’ll be discussing the ideal candidate for this NVQ, how the assessment works, the vital role of prior experience, and more.
The Ideal Candidate
The first step in understanding how to get the NVQ is to recognise who it’s for. It’s by no means a qualification for beginners; it’s designed for professionals who are already in a senior management role, such as a Contracts Manager, Site Manager, or Project Manager.
The NVQ is a work-based assessment, which means it evaluates your existing skills and knowledge. The ideal candidate will have a significant amount of on-site experience, and will be actively performing the duties of a senior manager.
NVQ Level 6 Construction Contracting Operations Management: The Assessment Process
The assessment process is centred around building a digital portfolio of evidence from your real-world work. A qualified assessor will work with you to guide you through the process. You will need to compile evidence such as project plans, risk assessments, method statements, site diaries, photographs, and videos. The assessor will also conduct professional discussions and remote observations to further verify your competence.
The Role of Your Experience
Your prior experience is the most important factor in how quickly you can complete the NVQ. If you have a wealth of experience and well-documented projects, you’ll be able to complete the qualification much faster. The more consistent and well-documented your work is, the smoother the assessment process will be.
A Fast-Track to Professional Recognition
The ability to complete the NVQ in as little as 8 to 12 weeks is a huge benefit for a working professional. It provides a fast-track to professional recognition, which can lead to a quick promotion, a higher salary, and a wider range of job opportunities. The NVQ Level 6 is the formal qualification required to apply for the prestigious CSCS Black Card for managers; having this card is a mandatory requirement for site access on many of the UK’s largest construction projects. The speed of the NVQ process means you can get your card without any delay.
