This course is delivered by our highly professional teaching staff with significant construction industry experience and a proven track record of bringing out the best in their students.
The construction industry in Scotland offers a diverse range of technician level careers. This course offers you an entry-level qualification that enables you to pursue a career as an Architectural Technician, Construction Manager, Building Surveyor or Quantity Surveyor if you have neither the qualifications to directly enter higher national level courses nor the qualification and experience to secure a technician level modern apprenticeship.
The course provides an introduction to the knowledge and skills you’ll need for a professional career at technician level in the building industry. It is predominantly theory-based and delivered as classroom-based lectures and tutorials but builds up your knowledge gradually, thus easing you into the academic process. The course provides an ideal launch pad for a technician level career in the construction industry and is an ideal starting point if you:-
- Want to build your confidence about engaging in academic learning.
- Have previously failed to achieve the results that demonstrate your full potential.
- Are returning to learning after a break.
The course consists of the core units required to achieve an NC Built Environment but you'll also undertake some additional units that support you to build the core skills required to succeed in the academic environment and to gain employment.
Watch as our students and staff talk about the learning experience at the College.
The course will run for 6 months from January - June.
