Level 3 Apprenticeship in Construction Contracting Operations

Part-time Courses

Please contact us for further information about applying for this course.

Course Description

An Apprenticeship in construction follows a pattern of vocational training to meet the requirements of a CITB approved framework. This enables the development of skills and knowledge which is then demonstrated by acquiring evidence in a real construction environment. Apprentices following this framework can expect to be continually assessed to gauge their suitability for progression to a Higher Apprenticeship (Level 4 or above).

The Level 3 NVQ Diploma in Construction Contracting Operations is underpinned by the technical certificate of the BTEC Level 3 National Diploma in Construction and the Built Environment, providing two qualifications on completion.

This technical certificate is delivered on college grounds one day a week, alongside guidance and review sessions for the collection of work-based evidence required to complete the NVQ.

This evidence is submitted to an online platform enabling constant access to the portfolio and a holistic way of managing the criteria. Individual learning plans provide clear direction for each apprentice in regards to their progress with regular reviews providing employers the opportunity to monitor their investment.

Entry Criteria

You should have achieved a Level 1 or Level 2 post-16 qualification in Construction or have at least one year of life skills gained after compulsory education and meet the Apprenticeship entry criteria.

Apprentices must have an employer who can cover the apprenticeship qualification criteria.

Delivery

The programme is delivered through blended learning:

  • Lectures

  • Seminars

  • Tutorials

  • Site visits (on site or virtual)

  • Field trips

  • Practical application of skills and knowledge

Assessment

The programme is assessed using the following methods:

  • Assignments

  • Practical tasks

  • Presentations

  • External Exam

  • Internal Exam

  • Completion of a work-based evidence portfolio

Progression

There will be a wide range of opportunities that apprentices can be involved with in a structured career path, such as Building, Civil Engineering and Specialist occupations. Progression routes include NVQ Level 4 Diploma in Construction Site Supervision, NVQ Level 6 Diploma in Construction Contracting Operations or NVQ Level 6 Diploma in Construction Site Management.

Alternatively, progression could be followed into Higher Education qualifications such as HNC/HND in Construction and the Built Environment, Civil Engineering, Building Services Engineering, Construction or Construction Management. If desired, this would lead to further progression in gaining a Foundation Degree in Construction and the Built Environment, Civil Engineering, Construction Management, Conservation and Restoration, Quantity Surveying, Architecture/Design, Architectural Technology or Building Surveying.
