Places are limited — check your eligibility and apply as early as possible.
Government funding is available to cover the full cost of the NVQ Level 3 Diploma in Occupational Work Supervision — but eligibility depends on where you live, your age, and in some cases your income. Places are limited.
Read on to find out if you qualify.
Do you have experience in construction supervision?
This qualification is assessed in the workplace. No previous NVQ is required, but you must be actively working in a supervisory role within the construction industry — not studying towards one. See the NVQ Level 3 Occupational Work Supervision entry requirements.
Experience criteria
Current role
You must currently be working in a supervisory role on a construction site, whether employed or self-employed.
No previous NVQ required
You do not need any previous qualifications or NVQs. Your current, practical construction supervision experience is what matters.
Standard eligibility
How old are you?
To be eligible, you must be at least 19 years old and under 24 years old on 31 August 2025.
Where do you live?
You must live outside London. Working in London is not a problem, but your home address must be outside the London area.
Exception — aged 24+
Over 24?
If you were 24 or over on 31 August 2025, you may be eligible for full funding, but only if you earn less than £25,750 per year.
