Why this course
Built for supervisors who can’t step away from the job
SSSTS + NVQ, one programme
The SSSTS element is delivered through structured training sessions; the NVQ Level 3 Diploma in Occupational Work Supervision is completed through workplace assessment and portfolio evidence.
Qualify while you supervise
NVQ evidence comes from real workplace activities — observations, records and professional discussions — so you keep working and earning while you complete the qualification.
Typically 12 weeks
Most candidates complete in around 12 weeks, at a pace set by how quickly you gather evidence from the supervision work you already do. A fast route is available at checkout.
An experienced assessor
You’re assigned an experienced assessor who guides you through the whole process, plans your evidence and supports you to completion.
The Gold Card qualification
An industry-recognised NVQ Level 3 Diploma that demonstrates supervision competence and supports your application for the Gold CSCS Supervisor Card.
Never expires
The NVQ is a lifetime qualification. Once it’s awarded it’s yours for good — no renewals, no retakes, on every site you ever supervise.

Common questions
Before you enrol
Do I have to attend a classroom?
The SSSTS element is delivered through structured training sessions. The NVQ Level 3 is different — it’s assessed on site from your real workplace activities, so you keep working while your assessor gathers evidence through observations, discussions and documentation reviews.
Do I need any qualifications to start?
No formal academic entry requirements. You should be aged 18 or over, working in a construction supervisory or senior operative role, have a basic understanding of English and be able to provide workplace evidence for assessment.
How long does it take?
Typical completion is around 12 weeks. The pace is largely set by how quickly evidence is gathered from your supervision work, and a fast route is available at checkout for £200 more if you need the qualification sooner.
Does this get me the Gold CSCS Card?
The NVQ Level 3 Diploma in Occupational Work Supervision is the qualification that supports the Gold CSCS Supervisor Card application. Once your NVQ is awarded, you pass the CITB Health, Safety & Environment test and apply to CSCS — we’ll point you through both steps.
How does the 50/50 payment work?
You pay £500 when you enrol and the remaining £500 only when you complete the qualification. There’s no interest and no credit check — just choose the 50/50 option at checkout.
