The right NVQ depends on how much of the site you are responsible for. Supervisors usually take Level 3 or 4. Site and project managers take Level 6. Senior managers who run several projects or a division take Level 7.

|---|---|---|
| Supervisor or foreman | Level 3 Occupational Work Supervision | Gold Supervisory |
| Senior supervisor or assistant manager | Level 4 Construction Site Supervision | Gold Supervisory |
| Site or project manager | Level 6 Construction Site Management | Black Manager |
| Contracts or senior manager | Level 7 Construction Senior Management | Black Manager |
Pick on your job, not your title Assessors look at what you actually do. A manager who only supervises one trade may be better suited to a supervisory NVQ.
Dig deeper with what a Level 6 NVQ is, how to get a black card and what qualifications managers need.
There are several management NVQs, and choosing the wrong one can mean the wrong card or evidence you cannot provide.
An assistant site manager on housing who runs plots and subcontractors but reports to a site manager might start with a supervisory NVQ. Once running their own site, they would move to Level 6 with the building pathway.
Tell us your trade and what you do on site. We will match you to the right NVQ, book your assessor and help with your card when you finish.
