The purpose of Pearson BTEC Higher Nationals in Construction Management for England is to develop students as professional, self-reflecting individuals able to meet the demands of employers in the construction sector and adapt to a constantly changing world. The qualifications aim to widen access to higher education and enhance the career prospects of those who undertake them. Having 'for England in the title means this qualification is designed to meet the requirements of specific Occupational Standards. Meeting the requirements of the Occupational Standards relates to:

• Qualifications that are ‘quality marked’ as Higher Technical Qualifications (HTQ)
  
• Qualifications that meet the knowledge, skills, and behaviours for identified job roles that are associated with the relevant Occupational Standards

You’ll learn through a combination of formal and informal sessions, collaboratively delivered with representatives from the sector, including practical, resource-based learning activities together with work-based learning.

Tutorial back-up relates both to the subject matter and individual mentoring.

You can expect that the tutor to learner ratio tends to be concentrated at 1:12. This allows the individual needs of the HE student to be met.
