Successful applicants must also have a reference that communicates they have a good attitude to learning, good behaviour and a good attendance record. Applicants must demonstrate a hard working attitude and enthusiasm for the subject.

Experience in the construction sector is advantageous, but not essential. You must also attend a formal interview with the course leader.

This is a standalone course and cannot not be studied with any other qualification except if you are required to continue studying English and/or Maths.
What About Choices After BTEC?
