In today’s fast-moving construction sector, Site Supervisors and aspiring managers face pressure to deliver results while meeting high safety standards. But taking time off-site for traditional training isn’t always realistic. That’s where remote weekend NVQ assessments come in — offering a flexible, CITB-approved route to qualification without stepping away from the worksite.
Whether you’re working toward a CSCS Gold Card or looking to formalise your supervisory role, remote assessments conducted online make it easier to get certified without disrupting your job.
What Is a Remote NVQ Assessment for Supervisors?
A remote NVQ assessment allows experienced supervisors to achieve a nationally recognised qualification from the comfort of their own home or site. Through live video calls, digital portfolios, and real-time feedback, you’ll be assessed on your current work — not forced into unnecessary classroom sessions.
With Think Construction Skills, you can complete your qualification on weekends, working directly with an experienced assessor to meet the criteria for:
- NVQ Level 3 in Occupational Work Supervision
- NVQ Level 6 in Construction Site Management
These qualifications are required to apply for your Gold or Black CSCS Card and demonstrate your competence as a leader in the field.
Why Choose Online or Weekend NVQ Assessment?
1. No Time Off Work Required
Skip weekday disruption. Book your assessment on a Saturday or Sunday and progress your qualification while keeping your site commitments.
2. Fully CITB-Approved
Our NVQs are CITB-approved, and assessments meet the same standards as traditional in-person qualifications. You’ll receive the same certificate — valid for life.
3. Real-World Evidence, Not Exams
There are no written tests or classroom assignments. Your qualification is based on evidence from your daily responsibilities — reviewed remotely by your assessor.
4. Fast, Flexible Scheduling
Upload your site evidence at your own pace. Weekend sessions give you more control over your learning without affecting site productivity.
5. Support Throughout
Your assessor will guide you through each step — from portfolio building to final verification — with full online and phone support.
How the Process Works
1. Initial Consultation
We assess your experience and confirm eligibility.
2. Enrolment
You receive access to an online portfolio system and guidance documents.
3. Remote Induction
Your assessor explains the process, sets deadlines, and confirms your units.
4. Evidence Collection
Gather documents, media, and reports — all guided by your assessor.
5. Review Sessions
Scheduled remotely, often on weekends, for maximum flexibility.
6. Final Assessment
Once your portfolio is complete, it’s verified for certification.
Is this the same as classroom training?
It’s better. You don’t waste time learning things you already know — we assess your real work in your real environment.
Can I get funding for my NVQ?
Yes. As a CITB Approved Training Organisation (ATO), we can help you apply for funding — including CITB grants of up to £1,250 for Level 3 and £1,500 for Level 6.
Do I need to submit essays or written work?
No. Your assessment is based on conversations with your assessor and real-world site evidence — no exams or coursework.
