Most candidates complete within 9–12 months, as the NVQ requires a comprehensive portfolio of strategic management evidence. Senior managers already responsible for projects, budgets, and teams can sometimes complete in as little as 7–9 months.

Currently, around 25–30% of senior construction managers hold a Level 7 NVQ or equivalent (such as a master’s-level qualification). The figure is steadily rising as principal contractors and clients demand formally qualified senior leaders to meet compliance and competency frameworks.

Yes — completing this NVQ makes you eligible for the Black Manager CSCS Card, which is required on almost all Tier 1 and Tier 2 sites for directors, senior project managers, and construction leaders. It is recognised as the highest management-level card in the industry.

Yes — demand is at record levels due to skills shortages in leadership. CITB forecasts the UK construction industry will need an additional 10,900 senior managers by 2028 to deliver major infrastructure, housing, and civil engineering projects.

Senior managers with this NVQ typically earn £55,000–£85,000 per year, depending on project scale, sector, and region. On large infrastructure or London-based projects, salaries often exceed £90,000–£100,000, with NVQ-qualified professionals commanding 15–20% higher pay than non-qualified peers.
