I would like to extend my sincere thanks to Mark and the entire team at Workforce Skills for the outstanding training and support provided throughout my Level 7 NVQ in Senior Site Management. From start to finish, the process was handled with professionalism, clarity, and a consistently high standard of delivery.
The depth of knowledge and experience that Mark brings to the table is evident in every interaction. His guidance was invaluable, not just in navigating the NVQ requirements, but in enhancing my understanding of leadership and site management at a senior level. The training materials were comprehensive, well-structured, and directly aligned with industry expectations, which made the learning both relevant and engaging.
What stood out most was the team’s commitment to quality and their proactive approach to ensuring I stayed on track. They were always available to answer questions and provide feedback, making the journey feel both supported and efficient.

The Level 3 NVQ Diploma in Steelfixing Occupations (Construction) is a vocational qualification for experienced steel fixers working in construction. It assesses your competence in advanced steel fixing tasks such as fixing reinforcement steel to complex designs, confirming work activities and methods on site, and maintaining working relationships and health, safety and welfare — all based on real workplace performance.
This NVQ is designed for individuals already working in steelfixing roles who want formal recognition of their advanced skills and competence. It is suitable for experienced steel fixers looking to enhance career progression and demonstrate industry‑recognised competence in reinforcement fixing and related tasks.
The NVQ cost can vary. Please see our payment options.
There are no formal academic entry requirements. You should, however, already be working in a steelfixing occupation with relevant experience so that you can demonstrate your practical competence and gather evidence for assessment. Many candidates also have prior completion of the Level 2 NVQ in Steelfixing or equivalent experience before progressing to Level 3.
Assessment is workplace‑based and evidence‑driven. A qualified assessor will observe you on the job, review your portfolio of evidence, and hold professional discussions with you. You must demonstrate competence in performing steelfixing operations, interpreting drawings, planning and organising work activities, and complying with safety and industry standards through real work tasks.
