Discover how the ProQual Level 7 NVQ Diploma in Construction Senior Management works, who it is designed for and how experienced construction managers can achieve a recognised Level 7 qualification through workplace assessment.
The ProQual Level 7 NVQ Diploma in Senior Management (Construction) is a nationally recognised, work-based qualification designed for experienced senior construction managers who want to gain formal recognition for the skills they already use in their role.
