How do i get a Construction NVQ

Depending on the type of NVQ qualification, such as construction related routes, it is sometimes necessary for this to be achieved in the workplace, so there can be a requirement to be employed, or working part time whilst studying at college. NVQs can also be completed in education and of course, as part of an apprenticeship where the learner has training and personal development as a large part of their qualification, rather than to prove competency in a role they are already trained in.

They are available in a range of levels from level 1 (basic) to level 7 (senior management). You are generally free to work at your own pace, but the majority of people find they can complete an NVQ level 1, 2 or 3 easily within a year. ESS provide NVQ courses in a wide range of sectors; for e.g. construction, logistics, green skills, retrofit, retail, administration, team leading, leadership and management.
