Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

The things construction professionals ask us most before getting started.

No. ProQual, Pearson and the others are simply different companies that issue NVQ certs. They all operate under Ofqual to the same national standards, and they're recognised in the UK and overseas. Whichever awarding organisation issues your certificate, the result for you is the same — a fully recognised NVQ.

No. NVQs are assessed through evidence of your real work and professional discussions with your assessor — there are no exams, tests, or written assignments.

Yes. All our NVQs are issued by recognised awarding bodies and accepted by CSCS. Your NVQ level determines the card you can apply for — Black (Manager), Gold (Supervisor), or Blue (Skilled Worker). You'll also need a valid CITB HS&E test passed within the last two years.

No. Assessment happens on site and remotely via video calls at times that suit your schedule. There is no classroom attendance and no coursework in the evenings.

Prices depend on the qualification and level — each qualification page shows the full price and monthly options. Instant, interest-free payment plans are available with no credit check, and CITB-registered employers may be able to claim a grant. if you're not sure where to start.
