LEVEL TWO

Code: L2TFW

Course Description

This course will involve students in developing building and construction skills, and is assessed using BCITO standards.

Vocational Pathway: Manufacture and Technology.

Course of Study

You will be working as part of a team to build and construct a non-consent building. This will go up for sale at the end of the course and will contribute to funding the programme.

Some lessons during the week will be set aside for written theory work and you will be expected to keep up to date with this. This will be done online, and will provide a portfolio of evidence of your learning and participation.

There is also the opportunity to complete a three day Welding course at ARA. This will also gain 3 credits.
