The Level 4 units lay the foundation of learning by providing a broad introduction to construction and different quantity surveying functions. This develops and strengthens core skills while preparing students for specialist subjects at Level 5 or to enter employment with the qualities necessary for job roles that require some personal responsibility.

Apprentices will gain a wide range of construction knowledge linked to practical skills gained through research, independent study, directed study and workplace scenarios.

Apprentices will be involved in vocational activities that help them to develop behaviours (the attitudes and approaches required for a competence) and transferable skills.
