The Pearson BTEC Level 3 Diploma (720 GLH) in Construction and the Built Environment (QCF) is part of a larger suite of construction qualifications, in a range of sizes, which share the common purpose of helping people to become occupationally ready to take up employment in the construction sector at the appropriate level. This can follow either directly after achieving the qualification, or via the stepping stone of Higher Education (HE) in university or college. By studying a BTEC National,students develop knowledge, understanding and skills required by the sector, including essential employability skills, and apply them in real work contexts.
