The assessment tool is a series of statements or questions which is used to benchmark your knowledge on key sustainability topics within the built environment. It is used to identify any gaps in your knowledge and direct you to the most relevant resources.

You can complete an assessment in any of our topics of learning, including:

  • Digital maturity

  • Offsite processes

  • Management competencies

  • Sustainable procurement

  • People matters

  • Lean and operational efficiency

  • Core sustainability


There is also an assessment available to support companies wishing to engage with the sustainability priorities of National Highways.

Completing an assessment will generate an action plan, made up of ten recommended resources relevant to your trade category, industry sector, company size and knowledge improvement areas.

An action plan is a tailored list of ten recommend resources generated after completing an assessment.

Our assessment tools consider your trade category and industry sector to create a bespoke action plan based on your responses and knowledge improvement areas.

To gain a bespoke action plan you need to complete an assessment. The assessment tool is located on your dashboard.

You can either take a personal assessment to benchmark your own knowledge, or a company assessment on behalf of your organisation. Company assessments can be completed as part of a team discussion or through your own evaluation of your company’s current skillset.

As a member, you can set up learning pathways for your internal colleagues. You can also make the most of the public learning pathways set up by the School (job role / topic specific etc). To view our publicly available learning pathways set up by the School, please scroll down to the 'My Learning Pathways' section and then click, 'View Available Pathways'. You will then see at least 36 self-enrol pathways available covering a wide variety of sustainability topics.
