All course assessments are carried out through a series of assignments, these are marked by your college assessor, via your online portfolio on Onefile and via visits to your workplace. This wide coverage of building subjects will allow you to have a better understanding of all aspects of building from design and costing, to contract and construction. The course is focused on the specific needs of the 'contracting' industry and will provide students with the requisite knowledge, concepts, techniques and skills to enable them to effectively fulfil their existing and future managerial responsibilities.
How will my learning be enhanced?
The nature of this course allows a flexible approach to study whilst still retaining the support of your individual assessor.

Is there anything else I need to know?

Application Information
As there is no requirement to attend college and the course is run one to one, the course will definitely run as it is not subject to minimum numbers. However, a place on your chosen course is not confirmed until all of the necessary enrolment paperwork is signed and any relevant fees are paid. The team will be in touch to discuss this with you, once your application has been processed.
