About the Course<br />
This course is suitable for those already working<br />
in the construction industry or wishing to enter it,<br />
having completed a suitable level 2 programme<br />
(e.g. level 2 construction diploma or intermediate<br />
construction award). The level 3 diploma expands<br />
the content of the level 2 diploma, further<br />
developing your knowledge and skills in college<br />
rather than in a working environment.<br />
The programme looks within the supervisory<br />
roles of construction, providing an insight into<br />
the management roles. Students will look at the<br />
planning and development of the construction<br />
process. Practical sessions will provide an<br />
appreciation of complex carcassing components,<br />
along with a traditional hipped roof and hipped<br />
dormers.<br />
You will learn by a series of extended practical<br />
exercises in well-equipped workshops, backed-up by<br />
relevant classroom theory.<br />
You will cover the following units:<br />
• Carry out safe working practices in construction<br />
• Carry out first fixing operations<br />
• Carry out second fixing<br />
• Information, quantities and communicating<br />
with others<br />
• Building methods and construction technology<br />
• Erect complex structural carcassing components<br />
• Maintain non-structural and structural<br />
components<br />

site carpentry qualification (for example, an ICA<br />
