Diploma in Construction and Engineering Level 1 at B2B Educators aims to support learning and widening opportunities by recognising achievement through credit-based courses and qualifications, promoting high standards of excellence and inclusiveness.
The Level 1 Award and Certificate in Skills for Professions in Construction and Engineering have been developed to provide a flexible approach to study using a range of vocational units combined with units in learning skills and ‘green’ units. The vocational units cover a broad range of building and construction trades including bricklaying, carpentry, plastering, and decorating; and engineering skills such as welding and electronic/mechanical assembly. This allows learners to study a range of interrelated topics in one place. The qualifications are suitable for use in a range of learning situations and lend themselves to the development of individualised learning programmes.
The qualifications have been designed to provide study skills and introductory vocational knowledge to learners who wish to progress within business, administration, and finance, but who may not yet be at a Level 2 standard. This may be because they have previously not achieved at Level 2, or because they have been out of education for some time. They also include several ‘green’ unit options designed to enhance awareness of ‘green’ issues.
