Higher Apprenticeship Framework

The Construction Technical, Supervision and Management (England) Apprenticeship framework is being developed to have a number of pathways within the level 5 framework.

Currently, Middlesex University Work Based Learning has developed a Foundation Degree Professional Practice in Construction Operations Management which is the first qualification to be approved within the new higher level Apprenticeship framework that will deliver both the knowledge and competency requirements.

Middlesex University, in partnership with The University Vocational Awards Council (UVAC), LLN national Forum, the Mixed Economy Group of Colleges (MEG) and ConstructionSkills intend to develop a national and regional infrastructure for delivery. This pathway offers local delivery partnerships consisting of the Higher Education Institution, Further Education College and employers the opportunity to deliver a Higher Apprenticeship through the work place. Any enquiries relating to the Middlesex University Higher Apprenticeship in Construction Operations Management should contact: d.bravenboer@mdx.ac.uk

Leeds College of Building have submitted an alternative route for approval consisting of a new level 5 NVQ Diploma in Sustainable Built Environment competence qualification and a HND. The NVQ can be delivered by in company assessment supported by one to one mentorship. There will be three pathways; Construction and the Built Environment; Civil Engineering; Building Services Engineering, all three pathways will be based around sustainability. The contact at Leeds College of Building is bduffy@lcb.ac.uk
