ProQual NVQ Level 3 Diploma in Construction Contracting Operations – Design Co-ordinator

Who the Level 3 Design Co-ordinator NVQ is for

The Design Co-ordinator pathway is for construction staff who manage the flow of design information between architects, engineers, specialist designers and the site team. It suits people already doing this job who want it recognised, and leads to the Gold Supervisor CSCS card.
