As part of our annual qualification review process, we have made the following amendments to our suite of BTEC Nationals in Construction and the Built Environment from September 2022.

Popular topics

As the demand rises for environmentally friendly construction techniques and sustainable practices, individuals with new skills will be required to build the houses of the future. For learners interested in home design, architecture, and the future of the house building industry, centres can create a bespoke course consisting of existing core units from our BTEC Nationals in Construction and the Built Environment (2017), alongside specialist units designed in association with MOBIE.

New units

Housing Design Project:

Learners develop skills in responding to a client brief with a housing design proposal and solution.

Offsite and Onsite Alternative Construction Methods:

In order to meet wider changes in the construction industry, learners develop skills in selecting alternative construction methods.

Renewable Energy for Housing:

Learners develop plans for improving the sustainability of homes through renewable energy use, developing a plan to install a renewable system into a domestic property.

The Housing Industry:

Learners will better understand the industry – assessing the drivers that influence the housing market in terms of development, delivery and procurement.
