Higher Level Skills

In response to employers calling for more staff to be highly qualified and take their skills to the next level, we have developed a range of Foundation Degrees. Building on the previous HNCs, the Foundation Degrees give employees a much more specific knowledge of their area and develop their specific skills for the workplace.

The courses are delivered part-time over two years through blended learning. Staff are required to attend our Newcastle Construction Centre once a week and then continue their learning in the workplace with real projects and at home with online learning and assignments.
