This course allows you to study construction and the built environment, giving you the opportunity to gain a broad knowledge and understanding of the industry. You will develop skills such as interpreting and analysing information, identifying the infrastructure required for safe and efficient work, and understanding how client needs can shape building design. What you will study: You will study the following three compulsory units, covering the fundamental knowledge, skills and understanding required for construction technology and design • construction technology • scientific and mathematical application for construction • construction and design Skills you will gain: This qualification will enable you to develop a theoretical and practical knowledge of the built environment alongside some practical skills. It will also enable you to engage with the mathematical and scientific principles that underpin the construction industry, and to explore the impact of design through research and the application of your own ideas in response to a design brief. Career Paths: This qualification will allow you to progress to further vocational study at level 3, such as a BTEC National in Construction and the Built Environment, or Engineering, or academic study such as A levels. The broad content may help successful learners enter a range of apprenticeships, for example in craft trades or built environment design.
4 GCSEs Grade 2+
You will carry out tasks/assignments throughout the course. Your teacher will mark these, and you will receive feedback as to how you are getting on. For the assessment for Unit 3: Construction and Design, you will be able to draw on the knowledge, skills and understanding you have developed in the qualification as a whole. The assessment for Unit 1: Construction Technology is a test that is sent away to be marked.
