Frequently Asked Questions Explained

No. This is a competency-based qualification. Assessment is conducted through a portfolio of evidence, which includes work-based observations, professional discussions, and witness testimonies.

Yes. Since the assessment relies on your daily work activities and professional output, it is designed specifically for full-time employees.

The Level 7 Diploma is a vocational qualification (NVQ-style), whereas an MSc is an academic one.

The Diploma: Focuses on proving you can do the job through workplace evidence.
The MSc: Focuses on theoretical research, exams, and a dissertation. Both sit at Level 7 on the Regulated Qualifications Framework (RQF), but the Diploma is often preferred by professionals who want to avoid exams and use their current projects to graduate.

Since there are no exams, you will build a portfolio. Typical evidence includes:

Project blueprints and design calculations.
Site inspection reports and meeting minutes.
Videos or photos of you managing a team or site.
Reflective accounts of how you solved a complex engineering problem.

Usually, the fee you pay to a training provider covers:

ProQual Registration fees.
Assessor support.
Internal Verification.
Certification. Note: You should always check if the CSCS card application fee itself is included or if that is a separate cost paid directly to CITB.
