We provide two types of pathways to students seeking a career in the built environment. For students aiming to enter the construction industry as junior professionals, CSCT provides Edexcel international recognized and accredited BTEC Higher National Diplomas. These diplomas are vocational qualifications aimed at students wanting a fast track pathway in to the industry or students seeking to upgrade their professional experience or those seeking entry to the university system. The entry requirement is at minimum 2 A/L passes and/ or relevant industry experience. The following HND’s are delivered at CSCT.
HND Courses:
-
HND in Quantity Surveying & Construction Economics - Recognised and Approved by IQSSL
The BTEC Higher Nationals are designed to provide a specialist vocational programme, linked to professional body requirements and National Occupational Standards where appropriate, with a strong work related emphasis. The qualifications provide a thorough grounding in the key concepts and practical skills required in their sector and their national recognition by employers allows progression direct into employment. The BTEC Higher Nationals offer a strong emphasis on practical skills development alongside the development of requisite knowledge and understanding in their sector. Learners are attracted to this strong vocational programme of study that meets their individual progression needs whether this is into employment or to further study on degree or professional courses.
Course Structure:
In order to achieve the aims of the course, a structured programme has been devised to deliver and asses student performance.
The entire programme consists of 4 semesters. The first three semesters cover 17 units and comprises entirely of direct learning experience. The final semester cover the individual student project and industrial training component.
Advantages of obtaining a BTEC HND:
- The key progression path for BTEC Higher National Certificate and Diploma learners is to the second or third year of a degree or honours degree programme, depending on the match of the BTEC Higher National units to the degree programme in question.
- The BTEC Higher Nationals in Construction have been developed with career progression and recognition by professional bodies in mind. It is essential that learners gain the maximum benefit from their programme of study. Consequently we have added value to the qualification by securing recognition for these qualifications.
The following is an indication of relevant professional bodies that recognise or are likely to recognise these BTEC Higher Nationals in Construction and their recommended unit structure, as a qualification contributing towards their requirements:
