About this course

Free BTEC Level 4 Construction Management Course in Chelmsford. Classes run at Chelmsford College Princes, part-time during the day, over two years. You'll need to be working in a technical construction role to join, along with two A levels at grades A to C (or a relevant Level 3 qualification at merit or distinction), and GCSE Maths and English at grades 5 to 9 or equivalent. Units cover construction design, construction technology, the construction environment, legal and statutory requirements, digital applications, financial management, tender and procurement, and Building Information Modelling.

Who this course is for

This HNC course is an excellent programme with exceptional levels of achievement; it is highly respected in the construction industry and is recognised by all sectors. This course is for those that are already working within the Civil Engineering/Construction Industry and aims to give students the skills, knowledge and understanding they need to achieve high performance in the international construction environment.

Entry requirements

Entry Requirements:

2 x A levels grades A - C in relevant subjects or a level 3 qualification at a merit or distinction in a relevant subject.

Applicants must also be working in a technical construction role.

We may also consider work / industry experience for mature students.

Specific Entry Requirements:

What you will learn

  • You'll develop skills in construction design through a practical project
  • You'll study construction technology and how it applies across different sectors
  • You'll understand the legal and statutory requirements that govern construction work
  • You'll use digital applications to manage and communicate construction information
  • You'll learn financial management and business practices relevant to the construction industry

You'll learn through classroom-based sessions taught by lecturers with recent industry backgrounds. Assessment is unit-by-unit across the eight modules in the programme. Each unit is assessed through assignments and projects rather than formal exams. You'll build a portfolio of work that demonstrates your knowledge and skills across construction design, technology, law, finance, and digital tools.

The centre will provide most materials. Chelmsford College Princes will confirm anything else you need before you start.
