Course Overview
The ProQual Level 3 NVQ Diploma in Construction Contracting Operations is a nationally recognised qualification tailored for individuals working in technical and administrative roles within the construction industry. It confirms occupational competence in areas such as estimating, buying, surveying, planning and site technical support, and supports career development into more senior technical, commercial or planning roles within the built environment.
This differs from the ProQual Level 6 NVQ Diploma in Construction Contracting Operations Management, which covers the same broad contracting field at a senior, strategic level for experienced managers, rather than the technical and administrative roles this Level 3 qualification is aimed at.
