So you’ve been told you need a black CSCS card in order to get on site, land that job you want etc. If you’re reading this article you’ve most likely come to the realisation that you will need to do an NVQ level 6 in construction site management. (If not then why are you here?) Your next question then is how fast can I do this? Time is of the essence and every day without that black CSCS card means more money is being lost. If you’re currently in this situation you will be relieved to know that Compass offer a fast-track option to this level 6 qualification, which is delivered nationwide with no hidden costs and no jargon – just explanations in plain English.
Our NVQs are optimised to fit in with the busy life of a site manager meaning there is no time needed away from work – you can complete the qualification in your own time and on site. Once enrolled you are given access to the entire qualification online, meaning you can easily upload any assignments and evidence required, and your assessor will be able to review and give feedback, or approve the work you have submitted. All of our assessors are from a construction management background and have completed the qualification themselves, so know the challenges you are going through and are able to offer advice to help guide you through your qualification. Site visits can either be done in person or over a video call, which can fit better into a site manager’s busy schedule.
If you are aiming to complete your qualification in as little as 8 weeks, then you can do this by dedicating roughly 2 days a week to work on your portfolio. At the end of the day, you are the driver of the car and the time you put in to complete your qualification will reflect in how quickly you are able to complete. The average time it takes a site manager to complete this qualification is 6 – 9 months, however the current record for the fastest completion of a level 6 NVQ held at Compass was just 12 days!
