About this course
This course will be based at Herefordshire College, Folly Lane Campus.
This course will give students the skills, knowledge and understanding they need to achieve high performance in the construction environment and provide core skills required for a range of careers in construction, specifically those related to management and operations. The Level 4 will lay the foundation of learning by providing a broad introduction to construction and different modern methods of construction functions. By the end of the Level 4, students will have sound knowledge of basic concepts of construction, and be competent in a range of subject-specific skills as well as in general skills and qualities relevant to the key areas of construction. The awarding body has worked closely with CABE; CIAT; CIHT; IHE; ICE; iStructE and Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors in developing this programme.
Subjects covered in the course include Principles of Off-site Construction; Construction Technology; Building Information Modelling; and Principles of Alternative Energy, to name a few.
Level 4 achievers can consider studying the Level 5 Higher National Diploma which can then lead to studying construction-related courses at honours level, such as BSc Construction Project Management; BSc Innovation Home Design and Construction, and BA (Hons) Design for Future Living.
