The Diploma in C&BE

The Diploma in Construction and the Built Environment (C&BE) was one of the first Diplomas to be developed. It has been taught in schools and colleges since September 2008.

The Diploma in C&BE was developed to give 14-19 year olds of all abilities, the opportunity to gain an understanding of the construction and built environment sector. With the help of employers, the diploma equips young people with the skills they need to progress their career.

Employers are asked to get involved with the delivery of The Diploma in C&BE through providing work-related learning and work experience

Learners will gain

• relevant personal, learning and thinking skills
• essential functional skills in English, mathematics and ICT

The Diploma in C&BE uses a mixture of theoretical and technical knowledge with practical skills to give young people the tools they need and the motivation to help them further their careers.
