    If you want to move into senior management, gain a Black CSCS Card, or progress into strategic health and safety leadership, the Level 6 and Level 7 NVQs offered by Target Zero are the fastest and most flexible route.
    These qualifications are designed for experienced professionals who want real recognition for their skills without taking time away from work.

    At Target Zero we help hundreds of construction managers every year achieve their NVQs quickly and confidently through one to one assessor support, clear evidence plans, and a fully guided portfolio process.

    Why Level 6 and Level 7 NVQs Are in High Demand in 2025

    The construction sector is changing at a rapid pace. Employers are prioritising stronger compliance, better site leadership, and improved safety culture. This means senior managers now need nationally recognised qualifications that prove competence.

    Across the UK we are seeing:

    • Rising demand for Black CSCS Cards
    • Higher compliance expectations from clients and main contractors
    • A growing need for strong health and safety leadership
    • An increased focus on strategic management within construction organisations

    Level 6 and Level 7 NVQs directly support this progression and help professionals stand out when applying for senior roles.

    Who Should Choose Level 6 NVQs

    Level 6 NVQs suit managers who are already responsible for teams, planning, and decision making. If you are actively managing people, budgets, or health and safety on site, these qualifications confirm your competence and provide a recognised pathway to senior management.
