This BTEC Level 3 Civil Engineering course covers the maths and science related to construction, how to carry out site surveys and the design & construction of roads, railways, bridges, buildings & flood control measures.
This is a 16-18 year study programme course, it is for students who are finishing year 11 this year, or for those who have recently left. It is equivalent to 3 A-Levels.
In the first year you will study the BTEC Level 3 in Construction & the Built Environment, and in the second year you will complete modules in Civil Engineering.
Civil Engineers are responsible for the design, construction and maintenance of the built environment, including projects such as bridges, roads, railways, airports, canals, dams and power stations. Civil Engineers can either be consulting engineers who advise on projects and design them or contractors who construct the structures.
Our study programmes include a vocational course, English and maths, work experience and employability skills.
Students also have the opportunity to take part in sport and enrichment activities alongside their course.
On this Civil Engineering BTEC Level 3 course you will study:
The underpinning mathematics and science related to construction
The design of construction and how to communicate your design in drawings and specifications
How to carry out site surveys to produce drawings and sections
How to carry out surveys to assess the conditions of buildings
How to calculate the cost of construction works and maintain the progress against the budget
How to take design information from drawings and mark out positions and heights on the ground
The principles of highway construction and procedures for maintenance of roads
No matter what level you are currently working at, you will continue learning English and maths throughout your course.
