Our assessor schedules the appointments with the candidate at times that work for both parties.
Since the SCQF Level 6 Built Environment Design SVQ 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 qualification 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

The SVQ at SCQF Level 6 is a Scottish Vocational Qualification (SVQ) that develops and recognises the skills, knowledge, and competence of individuals working in or entering the construction and built environment sector. It provides a formal qualification for those involved in design roles within the built environment and demonstrates occupational competence in their job.
