3 Gain formal Level 6 recognition Achieve your NVQ and CSCS pathway benefits

Frequently asked questions
Practical answers about this Level 6 NVQ + MCIOB On-Demand pathway.
What exactly is included in the bundle?
The bundle includes the NOCN Level 6 NVQ Diploma in Construction Contracting Operations Management and the MCIOB Professional Review On-Demand support and assessment. You complete the NVQ first, then progress into the MCIOB On-Demand stage once the NVQ is achieved.
Do I have to complete the NVQ before starting the MCIOB part?
Yes. The pathway is designed to progress in order. You complete the Level 6 NVQ first. Once achieved, you move into the MCIOB Professional Review On-Demand stage.
Is this fully remote?
Yes. Both parts of the bundle are delivered fully remotely. There is no classroom attendance required, and support is provided around your current role.
Are there exams or written assignments?
There are no exams and no traditional written assignments for the Level 6 NVQ. It is assessed through workplace evidence and professional discussion with your assessor.
The MCIOB stage does involve a written Professional Review application. We support learners through that process with structured guidance, materials, and assessor advice, including support for different learning styles.
How long does the pathway take?
This depends on your experience, evidence availability, and pace. The full pathway can be completed in as little as 3 months, or take up to around 18 months, depending on how quickly you progress. Both stages are designed to fit around full-time work rather than requiring time away from your role.
Does the NVQ lead to the Black CSCS Manager Card?
Yes. Successful completion of this Level 6 NVQ supports access to the Black CSCS Manager Card, subject to the standard CSCS application requirements, including the relevant CITB Health, Safety and Environment test where applicable.
Is the Level 6 NVQ eligible for the CITB grant?
Yes. The NVQ portion is eligible for CITB’s Short Qualification Grant of £600 for eligible learners/employers.
That means the effective net cost of the Level 6 NVQ can be reduced to £900 after the grant is claimed on successful completion, subject to CITB’s rules and eligibility criteria. Guidance on how to claim is provided on completion.
How does this support MCIOB?
The Level 6 NVQ is an RQF Level 6 qualification — the same level as a bachelor’s degree on the Regulated Qualifications Framework. That degree-equivalent status means it meets the CIOB’s qualification requirements for Applicant Members, unlocking access to the MCIOB application route.
The MCIOB On-Demand component then provides structured guidance, materials, and assessor advice for the Professional Review pathway, with the CIOB Assessment Fee included.
What support do I get?
You receive one-to-one assessor support across both stages. For the NVQ, your assessor helps guide evidence gathering and assessment. For the MCIOB On-Demand stage, you receive structured guidance, course materials, and assessor advice up to submission, with clarification support where needed within CIOB rules.
Why buy the bundle instead of each course separately?
The bundle gives you both parts of the pathway in one package and saves £100 compared with buying them separately (£2,250 instead of £2,350). It also provides a clearer joined-up route from Level 6 recognition through to MCIOB On-Demand support.
What if I’m not sure this is the right route?
Contact us before enrolling. We can help you check suitability based on your role, experience, and goals, and advise whether this bundle — or one of the individual courses — is the better fit.
