S/NVQ Built Environment & Construction
National Vocational Qualifications (NVQ's) are work-based awards in England, Wales and Northern Ireland that are achieved through assessment and training. In Scotland they are known as Scottish Vocational Qualifications (SNVQ).
To achieve an NVQ, candidates must prove that they have the ability (competence) to carry out their job to the required standard. NVQs are based on National Occupational Standards that describe the 'competencies' expected in any given job role. Typically, candidates will work towards an NVQ that reflects their role in a paid or voluntary position.
There are five levels of S/NVQ ranging from Level 1, which focuses on basic work activities, to Level 5 for senior management.
NVQ's & the Chartered Institute of Building
CIOB recognise National and Scottish Vocational Qualifications through the Construction Vocational Group, a joint awarding body with ICE (Institution of Civil Engineers), in partnership with Edexcel.
Completion of CIOB S/NVQ programmes will be recognised by the Construction Skills Certification Scheme (CSCS).
