Construction materials are the basis of civil engineering, to estimate them strictly is not only a guarantee to engineering quality, but also a key procedure of engineering construction. Therefore, the construction material should be tested regularly as required during the construction process. As a highly professional, normative and technical work, the quality inspection of construction material requires employees to master abundant relative knowledge and professional skills. In order to satisfy this requirement, one of the most important methods for construction material inspectors to acquire relevant knowledge and skills is occupation skill training. This study discussed the current situations in applied talents training of construction materials quality inspection. The characteristics, regular patterns and main challenges of occupation skill training were analyzed as well. Then the improvement measures and basic implementation strategies to improve the training effects were expounded briefly. Then the "Three Consciousness" for employees and training emphasis were explained in detail. This study also underlined the significance of building multiple teaching resources. Finally, a new five step progressive training method is proposed based on the training practice.
