The NVQ Level 3/4 Gold CSCS Card is made specifically for working construction site supervisors or foremen, typically overseeing occupationally related operatives from the same trade.

Your work must be more site-based, rather than office-based, and your role should involve activities that help organise project workflow by liaising with the site management and communicating vital information to the involved operatives.

Assessment Process – The assessment is based on four, five or potentially six assessment methods: Direct observation – an assessor will come to observe you at work. Visits are scheduled according to your availability

Written questionnaire – when we come for the first visit we will print your units and you will have to answer in writing about 100-150 theoretical questions. You will do this in your time, once you have finished you will send the answers to us and we will attach them to the portfolio. We will give you guidance, but the answers must be yours. Professional discussion – if you do not want to cover the theoretical questions in writing, we can organize a recorded discussion between you and the assessor where they will be covered. It takes between 1-2 hours and should be planned a little in advance (the assessor will make a plan of the discussions, will send it to you and then you will set a convenient day for both of you). This can take place at your site or at our office.

Evidence – attesting professional competence these include:

Site Safety Signs.
Method statements/risk assessments signed.
LOLER / PUWER weekly checks.
all short of meeting minutes or completed sheets.
H&S.
progress.
coordination.
Plans / Drawings.
Email correspondence.
H&S audit reports.
Permit to work / Hot work permits completed and signed.

The list is not exhaustive, in principle any document related to your work can be attached to the portfolio.
