Construction assessments come in three main forms: written or touchscreen tests, practical tests on a machine or task, and NVQ assessment on site. Each needs slightly different preparation, but the basics are the same: know what is being checked, practise, and arrive ready.
| Type | Example | How to prepare |
|---|---|---|
| Written or touchscreen | CITB HS&E test, SMSTS exam | Revise the published material and practise questions |
| Practical | CPCS or NPORS practical test | Rehearse checks and set tasks with an instructor |
| Workplace | NVQ observation | Plan the work and organise your evidence |
Ask about support If you have dyslexia or English is not your first language, ask about reading support or voice-over options when you book.
Specific guides: CITB test preparation, plant assessments and NVQ workplace assessment.
Most people who fail a course assessment know the material but trip up on preparation or nerves.
Each evening, spend 20 minutes reviewing the day’s notes and writing down three key points. The night before the assessment, run through practice questions and get a good night’s sleep.
