Occupational Work Supervisor

Full qualification title: Level 3 NVQ Diploma in Occupational Work Supervision (Construction) (QCF).

Requirements

The qualification is suitable for on-site foremen with at least 3 year’s experience in site supervision. You will need to demonstrate that you have the necessary skills and knowledge to plan and organize work activities, liaise with site management and other contractors, provide contract information to operatives, organize delivery and storage of materials and equipment, ensure Health and Safety on site and regularly check quality of work against relevant standards.

Assessment Process

We also use state of the art Internet technology to help you through the process and have a number of training courses available for you. We combine the way to achieve your NVQ through a combination of professional discussions and On Site Assessment and Training which involves a WEP-HSE assessor collecting evidence of your skills by workplace observation and questioning.

In the case of Occupational Work Supervision it is very important that additional paperwork evidence is collected showing that you regularly carry out Supervisory tasks such as conducting Toolbox Talks and Safety Inductions, ordering and receiving deliveries of materials and taking part in site meetings. This evidence can be in the forms of Toolbox Talks and Induction Safety registers signed by the candidate as well as Delivery Notes, Purchase Orders and Minutes of Site Meeting with the candidate’s name on them. Copies of these documents are normally easily obtainable from the candidate’s employer or client. There is also a requirement for a tape-recorded discussion with assessor at the end of the assessment to confirm candidate’s work knowledge.

How long does it take?

The minimum length of the assessments from the candidate’s registration to the actual achievement of the NVQ is about three months and the maximum is twenty four months. We will always make sure that you achieve your qualification in the shortest possible time by using assessment methods tailored to your circumstances and constantly updating you on the progress of the assessment.  However, like anything in life; the more you put in the more you get out and effectively you could complete your NVQ in a shorter timescale than 3 months.  It must be remembered that the circumstances of each individual differ.
