Welcome to a valuable collection of resources from the Good Practice Event held in Newtown on June 21st. These resources were presented during breakout sessions on two important topics: “Bilingual Resources for the Foundation Qualification via Moodle” and “Development of Level 3 Resources,” led by our colleagues from the NPTC Group.

For those involved in teaching the Foundation qualification, there is a set of helpful tools. These include quizzes to test knowledge, planning and target-setting aids, and PowerPoints for the common mandatory units. These resources are designed to support delivery of the qualification in Welsh.

Please note the Foundation resources are available in both English and Welsh.

This video provides an overview of the Level 2 Award in Digital Skills for Construction, which is a part of the Welsh Apprenticeship Framework.

Teaching and learning resources

The Foundation in Construction and Building Services Engineering provides a broad introduction to construction and the built environment. It has been developed for individuals working in or intending to work, in these sectors.

It is aimed at learners in work-based learning, further education and school 6th forms. This qualification will enable learners to go on to study a range of other Level 2 or 3 Construction and Building Services Engineering courses relevant to their trade interest area.

The Progression in Construction has been developed as a post-16 qualification for individuals working in or intending to work in the Construction sector. This qualification will enable learners to go on to study other Level 2 or 3 construction courses relevant to a chosen construction trade.

The qualification is primarily designed for learners to follow on a full time one-year programme of learning. It is aimed at learners who have achieved the Foundation in Construction and Building Services Engineering (Level 2) but do not yet have an apprenticeship.

The Level 2 Core in Construction and Building Services Engineering provides a broad introduction to construction and the built environment. It has been developed for individuals working in or intending to work, in these sectors.

Its primary purpose is to be taken part-time by learners who have secured a Construction or BSE Apprenticeship and not previously completed the Foundation in Construction and Building Services Engineering qualification. This qualification will enable learners to go on to study a range of other Level 2 or 3 Construction and Building Services Engineering (BSE) courses relevant to their trade interest area.

It is usually delivered over one year as a part-time programme of learning within an Apprenticeship framework; or for site operatives who want to widen their knowledge, understanding and skills in the sector more generally.

The Progression in Building Services Engineering qualification has been developed for individuals working in, or intending to work in, the building services engineering sector. It is aimed at learners who have achieved their Foundation in Construction and the Built Environment qualification, but do not yet have an employer to continue to an Apprenticeship. This qualification will enable learners to go on to study other building services engineering courses relevant to their choice of trade.
