Complete your construction NVQ remotely using real work evidence, the CADUK ePortfolio and professional discussion with your assessor.
Our online assessment process is designed for experienced supervisors, managers and health and safety professionals who are already carrying out the role and need a practical route to a recognised NVQ.
There is no classroom attendance, no exams and no long written coursework. You upload evidence from your normal work, then talk through your knowledge and experience with your assessor online.
Evidence upload, assessor review and one-to-one professional discussion, all completed online.
Online NVQ assessment allows experienced candidates to complete a work-based qualification without attending a classroom or arranging unnecessary site visits.
You use your existing work evidence, such as site records, reports, photographs, videos, RAMS, programmes, audits, briefings, inspections or other role-specific documents. Your assessor reviews the evidence and then completes structured professional discussions with you remotely.
The aim is simple: prove the competence you already demonstrate at work, without turning the NVQ into a classroom course.
After enrolment, you receive access to your personal CADUK ePortfolio. This system was developed in-house by CADUK to keep evidence upload simple and organised.
You can upload documents, photos, videos and site records into the correct areas of your portfolio. Your assessor can then review your evidence, give guidance and confirm what else may be needed.
Our process is designed to keep assessment straightforward, evidence-led and suitable for experienced candidates.
Complete a short application so we can understand your role, responsibilities and target NVQ route.
An assessor checks suitability and confirms whether the qualification matches the work you actually do.
You upload real work evidence into the CADUK ePortfolio, with guidance on what is suitable.
Your assessor reviews the portfolio against the qualification standards and identifies any gaps.
You complete structured online discussions where you talk through your role, decisions and real examples.
Once assessment and quality checks are complete, your certificate claim is submitted to the awarding body.
The evidence depends on the NVQ and the role being assessed. Your assessor will confirm what is suitable, but typical construction NVQ evidence could include:
Once your evidence has been reviewed, your assessor will arrange a relaxed online discussion, usually over Zoom. This is not an exam. It is a structured conversation about your role, your decisions and the work you carry out.
Your assessor will ask questions linked to the NVQ criteria and your evidence. You simply talk through how you manage tasks, solve problems, follow procedures, communicate with others and meet the standards required for the qualification.
Focused on what you actually do in your job, not classroom theory.
Your assessor guides the process and confirms what evidence is still needed.
Assessment decisions are recorded and quality checked before certification.
