Recent developments in heat pumps and recycling energy requires learners to acquire environmental knowledge and understanding of the environment. <br/><br/>Students will develop knowledge of construction and building services engineering linked to practical skills acquired through research, directed study, independent study, and workplace scenarios. Students take part in vocational activities that aid them in developing behaviours (the attitudes and approaches required for a competence) and transferable skills. These transferable skills include communication, teamwork, research and analysis, which are highly valued in higher education and in the workplace. <br/><br/>Two years part-time with one full day attendance per week, or one year full-time with two full day attendance per week.<br/><br/>6 hours for part-time course or 12 hours for full-time course. <br/><br/>Each unit is worth 15 credits and over the course of the programme you will gain 120 credits <br/><br/>Students can continue their studies and progress to a Level 5 HND, and following this can progress to study at degree level.
