The course will give students a multitude of interdisciplinary skills to prepare them for the world of work or further academia. It will incorporate drawing skills, calculations, and design elements, which is supplemented by their work-based learning. The course will simulate 'live' projects, where possible, and simulated activity when required, to help students put into practice what they are learning with industry and combine the theory with practice.

All related assignments will be directly linked to the practical units, with research and presentation skills being encouraged. This will allow students to progress onto various pathways, including Construction Graduate Apprenticeships.
