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 Level 3 NVQ Diploma in Wood Occupations (Carpentry & Joinery) is a vocational qualification for experienced carpenters and joiners. It formally recognises advanced practical competence in a range of wood trades including site carpentry, architectural joinery, wheelwrighting, shopfitting (both site and bench), structural post and beam carpentry, and timber frame erection — all assessed in real workplace settings.
This NVQ is designed for individuals working in wood occupations who are already performing at an advanced level and want formal recognition of their skills and competence. It suits carpenters, joiners, and wood trades professionals working in areas such as site carpentry, bespoke joinery, structural framing, shopfitting, or wheelwrighting.
The NVQ cost can vary. Please see our payment options.
There are no formal academic entry requirements. Candidates should be employed in a relevant carpentry and joinery role or a related wood occupation and have sufficient experience so they can gather real workplace evidence of competence for assessment. Completion of a Level 2 NVQ or equivalent experience is typical before progressing to Level 3.
Assessment is workplace‑based and evidence‑driven. A qualified assessor will observe you in your normal job, review your portfolio of evidence (such as photographs, job records, and witness testimonies), and hold professional discussions to confirm your competence across the units relevant to your chosen pathway. There are no formal exams; assessment is based on real work activities.
Yes, you can be eligible for the CSCS Gold Skilled Workers card, as long as you have completed the relevant Operative Health and Safety Test within 2 years of applying for the card. Please contact Workforce Skills Support for further CSCS experience and trainee card information.
