Engineering

BTEC

This qualification will prepare learners for direct employment in the construction sector or progression to a higher level of study. The course requires applied learning that brings together knowledge and understanding with practical and technical skills. This is achieved through learners performing vocational tasks that encourage the development of appropriate vocational behaviours and transferable skills such as the use of AutoCAD and surveying instruments. These transferable skills help to develop better communication, teamwork, planning and completing tasks to high standards, which are valued in both the workplace and in higher education.
