CASL Group with its office based in South Wales is a leading provider of Pearson Construction NVQs (Technical, Supervision and Management)
Construction Technical, Supervision and Management NVQs are work-related, competence based qualifications that reflect the knowledge and skills to do a specific job and correspond directly to academic equivalents.
Construction NVQs offer flexible training with no age limits or special entry requirements and no need to leave the work place. They are achieved through assessment by a qualified assessor.
CASL use the market leading City & Guilds Learning Assistant e-portfolio platform which has set the standard for e-portfolios over the last decade. The platform is easy to operate, secure and can also be assessed through smartphones, perfect for construction workers out on site. City & Guilds
Pearson is the leading accredited awarding body in the UK for Construction NVQs and CASL has been a Pearson approved assessment centre for Construction Technical, Supervision and Management NVQs at Levels 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7 since it was founded in 2002 by Lance Saunders.
We work with some of the most experienced assessors in the sector who assess our learners all across the United Kingdom. A number of these individuals are also senior Pearson NVQ assessors in this sector.
CASL is an experienced construction NVQ provider to construction apprentices at several large Welsh Colleges.
CASL’s NVQL7 assessors endorse and support L7 learners gain chartered rank within the Chartered Institute of Building (MIOB) – the professional body responsible for the science, ethics and practice of built environments around the world.
CASL can also support the learner in ensuring that they have the correct CSCS card for their role.

Professional Membership
The Pearson CSML7 upon completion allows the learner to apply for the NVQL7 fast track route to chartered rank within the Chartered Institute of Building (MCIOB).
To be eligible the NVQ needs to be less than 3 years old and the NVQ assessor must be a Chartered member of the CIOB at the time of assessment. All CASL NVQ L7 assessors meet this criteria, being either MCIOB or FCIOB.
Membership of industry professional bodies such as CIOB bring benefits such as boosted career and salary prospects as well as internationally recognised accreditations for those looking to work overseas within the construction sector.
CIOB Chartered Companies where 50% of the Board members are required to be MCIOB enjoy competitive advantage in tendering for build projects as well as increased credibility and recognition amongst their contemporaries and competitors within the sector.
CSCS Cards
The Construction Skills Certification Scheme (CSCS) awards CSCS cards to reflect the competency level of the construction worker and the CSCS card awarded reflects the NVQ Diploma course that the learner is registered on/has achieved. On site, a CSCS card is proof of competency.
CASL supports each learner in gaining the correct CSCS card upon registration or completion of their construction vocational qualification. This service is provided at no additional cost to the learner.
At the current time, a Gold CSCS card is issued for a Level 3 or Level 4 NVQ Construction Diploma qualification and a Black CSCS card for a Level 5, Level 6 or Level 7 Construction Diploma qualification.
The Experienced Technical, Supervisor or Manager card is a temporary non-renewable CSCS card that is valid for 3 years. It is available to those with at least one year of on the job work experience (of the last 3 years) and who have registered onto an NVQ.
Periodically the CSCS scheme is reappraised to ensure it remains fit for purpose and CASL assessors will advise learners as to the correct CSCS cards to reflect any resulting changes.
