Tunnelling, Temporary Works and Construction NVQs — Online and Distance Learning
Tunnel Engineering delivers entirely without a classroom — live online for the taught courses and distance learning for the NVQ diplomas. The range is narrow and specialist: the CITB Tunnelling Safety Training Scheme, the full temporary works pathway, and four ProQual NVQ diplomas running from supervision up to site management and occupational health and safety practice.
Tunnelling
The CITB Tunnelling Safety Training Scheme (TSTS), delivered live online — the sector scheme for anyone working on tunnelling projects, alongside a Tunnel Engineering course by e-learning. Tunnelling competence is genuinely hard to find outside major project inductions.
Temporary works
The complete CITB temporary works pathway live online: Temporary Works Coordinator, the Coordinator Refresher, and Temporary Works Supervisor. Also CDM Awareness. See all
CDM courses and
CITB courses.
ProQual NVQ diplomas
Four NVQs by distance learning: Level 3 Occupational Work Supervision, Level 4 Construction Site Supervision, Level 6 Construction Site Management, and Level 6 Occupational Health and Safety Practice. These are portfolio qualifications assessed on evidence from your actual job rather than taught and examined. See all
Construction NVQ courses.
How does an NVQ by distance learning work?
You build a portfolio evidencing what you already do at work — photographs, method statements, records, witness testimony — assessed remotely against the qualification standards. There is no exam and no attendance. It suits people already performing the role who need the qualification to prove it, typically for a CSCS card at black or gold level. It does not suit someone trying to learn the role from scratch.
Supervisor, site management or health and safety?
Level 3 Occupational Work Supervision is the entry supervisory NVQ. Level 4 Construction Site Supervision sits above it. Level 6 Construction Site Management is the route to a black CSCS manager card. Level 6 Occupational Health and Safety Practice is the different path — for safety practitioners rather than site managers, and it leads towards Graduate IOSH membership.
