About Us and Our Mission
Construction Learning World (CLW) is a training provider specialising in meeting the training needs of the construction industry.
CLW is the largest provider of construction related National Vocational Qualifications (NVQs) in the UK. We work nationwide, on more than 1,500 construction sites at any one time and we assist over 4,000 people per year to achieve an NVQ. Our staff work closely with learners to provide On-Site Assessment and Training (OSAT) in order to deliver a complete range of construction related NVQs at Level 2 and 3.
“I would like to thank Construction Learning World for the prompt and positive attitude towards the enrolment and assessment of our site workers. Having 99% of our eligible operatives enrolled within five weeks was no mean achievement.”
Keith Little, Project Manager, Laing O’Rourke Northern.

In 2008, CLW was amongst the first training organisations to achieve the Training Quality Standard with Excellence in Construction, recognising our commitment to the high quality delivery of training and assessment.
“It soon became clear that Construction Learning World was the preferred choice. Unlike other providers, CLW offered a full service, organising CSCS cards, touch screen tests, NVQs and so on. Importantly, CLW also took care of organising the funding to support the process.”
Gavin Clegg, Operations Manager, North Midland Construction.
CLW is an accredited centre working with the CITB, City & Guilds and Edexcel. All of the services that we deliver wholly satisfy the Construction Industry Training Board's (CITB) Construction Skills Certification Scheme (CSCS) and the National House Building Council (NHBC) Certification Schemes.
Although we are based on the outskirts of Nottingham, our services and outlook are nationwide.
“We can now state that all our operatives, both sub-contracted and employed, are CSCS/CPCS compliant at enquiry and tender stage – which to most companies is a minimum requirement.”
Dave Barnard, Managing Director, Barnard & Butler Carpentry.
