Our assessor schedules the appointments with the candidate at times that work for both parties.
Since the Level 3 Diploma in Construction Materials Technology are candidate-led, they can be completed swiftly once the majority of the evidence has been acquired for the proposed evidence list, a copy of which we've provided. After the evidence is gathered (by email), the Level 3 Diploma in Construction Materials Technology can be completed quickly in two to three sessions, lasting a few hours each, as long as the candidate can set aside time for the professional follow-up discussion to go over all of the given evidence.
The follow-up professional discussion can be completed face-to-face or remotely.
1st visit – Induction, planning
2nd visit – discuss evidences, identify shortfall of evidences
3rd – visit – Discuss new evidences, cover shortfall in questions (if required) - completed

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.
