Developed in collaboration with employers, professional bodies, and higher education representatives, this qualification ensures it meets industry standards and supports progression to specialist degrees in civil engineering and related fields.
By completing this diploma, you will gain the essential knowledge, understanding, and practical skills needed to move directly into employment, an Apprenticeship, or further study within the construction and civil engineering sector.
There are seven mandatory units, which cover the following aspects of construction:
- construction principles
- construction design
- health and safety in construction
- construction technology
- site engineering
- construction in civil engineering
- further mathematics for construction
There are many roles in this sector where recruitment is at graduate level. The qualification carries UCAS points and is recognised by higher education providers as contributing to meeting the admission requirements to many relevant courses. For example, higher level study or HTQs in Construction. You could progress on to our Higher National Certificate (HNC) in Civil Engineering.
