NVQ Level 6 Construction Site Management Requirements
The NVQ Level 6 Construction Site Management On-Site Assessment and Training (OSAT) program has been specially developed for construction site managers with 5+ years of experience in a management role, preferably working either for the main contractor or a large specialist subcontracting company.
As described in the National Occupational Standards (NOS), the assessment portfolio of the Construction Site Management NVQ must contain evidence that demonstrates a learner’s competence in essential aspects of the day-to-day running operations of a construction site.
A typical site manager is expected to demonstrate the required practical skills and knowledge to:
•
collect and analyse the required Health and Safety information about safe methods of work and implement them in the project organisational procedures to raise H&S awareness and culture in the workplace
•
create an efficient programme of works and schedules for different contractor activities, and be able to analyse and amend the programme for the duration of the entire project
•
plan and organise work activities in line with the project’s programme of works in order to allocate tasks for subcontractors and involved persons
•
organise monitoring and reporting systems of the project progress against programme of works to minimise disruptions
•
organise and chair regular project progress meetings
•
plan and organise site layout for operatives, work activities, site traffic and storage of the project resources
•
implement the planning and organisation of the supply of the project resources
•
organise and implement project cost control procedures
•
implement quality control and reporting system
•
identify and implement environmental protection procedures
As per the Awarding Body's recommendation, while undergoing the NVQ assessment, the Construction Site Manager must be in charge of either a large specialist subcontracting company or the main contractor’s managing team.
For construction site managers overseeing smaller parts of the project, those who can call themselves contracts or project managers might want to consider the

NVQ Assessment Process
Unlike the colleges, we have much shorter terms of completion. That's because our approach is deeply personalised , and we tailor the assessment plan to suit your circumstances. Also, for your convenience, we come to visit you at your workplace right when you need it, within a matter of days — not months.
Usually, it takes two site visits to cover all assessment criteria from the National Occupational Standards (NOS); however, this may differ depending on your ability and motivation to collaborate with the assessor.
As soon as you make an application for the NVQ Level 6 Construction Site Management assessment, you'll be appointed a dedicated assessor for your assessment. They will guide you through the course and help you achieve your Diploma in Construction Site Management.
Our expert assessor will carry out the On-Site Assessment & Training (ASAT) course—meaning that no time off work is required. Your assessor will arrange the site visit on a day and time that suits your schedule. Then, with your help and involvement, you will agree with your assessor on the appropriate assessment methods, such as discussion and examination of your product evidence (electronic records and work documentation) to gather the required set of proof of your skills in the most practical way, in order to verify your competence in the construction site management sector.
Assessment Timescale
The NVQ site management course may take up to 6 months from start to finish, but the assessment turnaround time can vary and greatly depends upon your employment situation, motivation, and ability to supply the assessor with the needed information for the NVQ Level 6 Construction Site Management qualification.
Before starting the Construction Site Management NVQ assessment, you'll talk about all aspects of your employment situation with the assessor to verify the assessment end date. As soon as you can agree on a practical and attainable assessment completion date, the assessment process can begin.
