What You’re Paying For

You’re paying for structured assessment, expert guidance from a qualified assessor, and a recognised qualification that aligns with industry standards. The programme is competency-based, meaning there are no exams or classroom sessions. Instead, your assessor works with you remotely to assess evidence drawn directly from your job role.

This approach allows you to continue working full time while completing the qualification, avoiding loss of earnings or disruption to your career. For many candidates, this flexibility is a major part of the overall value.

NVQ Level 6 Compared to Other Training Routes

When comparing NVQs to traditional academic qualifications, the cost is often significantly lower. University-based construction management degrees can cost many thousands of pounds and require years of study. In contrast, the NVQ is focused entirely on your existing competence and experience.

It also differs from short courses such as SMSTS. While SMSTS is essential for health and safety compliance, it doesn’t offer the same long-term career recognition as an NVQ. Level 6 is often used to support applications for the CSCS Black Manager Card, and progression into more senior roles.
