This document contains the qualifications matrix for the National Certificate in Building, Construction and Allied Trades Skills Level 1. It will help you understand the structure of the qualification and the units which need to be selected as part of the complusory, core complusory, elective and core elective sections. We recommend that you read this document before downloading the resources.
We have provided a teachers guide to the BConstructive programme based on teachers questions and feedback. It is strongly advised that all those delivering the BConstructive programme read this document before downloading the resources.
- Teaching and learning resources
- Plans and specifications for workshop projects
- Construction-specific exemplars
- Assessment guidelines, checklists and tools that can be used in the classroom and ‘onsite’
Some of the unit and achievement standards that are part of the qualification but not contained in the BCATS domain already have resources that are being used as part of the classroom curriculum. Where possible, we have provided examples and ideas that will help you deliver them with a construction focus. We will continue to develop our resources in the future.
The BETA ITOs can offer regional support for schools and providers through our network of regional field staff.
