This course is designed to enable those employed in relevant areas of the construction industry to gain a formal academic qualification (CertHE Construction) and develop the knowledge, skills and behaviours associated with the Construction Design and Build Apprenticeship Standard.

The CertHE Construction gives a broad introduction to construction based subjects and is seen as a sound footing for progressing to higher level study and for career progression within the industry. The fact that the course follows an apprenticeship standard means that the apprentice can be assured that they will be equipped with the necessary knowledge, skills and behaviours expected of the subject area and that these will be gained as part of the academic course and within the workplace.
