Level 5 NVQ Qualifications

Level 5 qualifications suit senior and planning roles. For the correct card, check the CSCS Card Finder.

What is a Level 5 NVQ?

Level 5 qualifications cover senior planning and management-level duties, such as planning lifting operations or built environment sustainability management. They’re assessed through workplace evidence and observation rather than exams.

Who it’s for: experienced professionals moving into senior planning or sustainability management roles.

How it works: a qualified assessor reviews your workplace evidence and carries out observations relevant to your role. Timescales depend on experience and available evidence.

Where it leads: most Level 5 routes support a Blue CSCS Skilled Worker card, but because the exact card can vary by occupation, we always confirm your specific route using the official CSCS Card Finder before you apply.
