Skill Overview

The UK construction industry is going digital – and skilled Design & Build Technicians are in high demand.

With the Pearson HNC Construction Management (Construction Design & Build Technician) (HTQ), you’ll gain an industry-recognised qualification designed with employers. Learn to create digital designs for structures, MEP systems, and more, using the latest tools and technologies.

Study at UCO with expert tutors in a supportive environment and develop the analytical, practical skills and confidence, with career progression opportunities you need to stand out in this fast-evolving sector.
Graduates often progress into roles such as Architectural Technician, Design & Build Technician, BIM Technician, CAD Designer, Building Services Designer, Civil Engineering Technician, Design Coordinator, etc.

Many also choose to continue to postgraduate study in the areas of Architectural Technology, Digital Design for Construction (BIM), Civil and Structural Engineering, Building Services Engineering, Construction Project Management, Sustainable Design and Construction.

Learning Objectives

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

Students will gain a wide range of construction knowledge linked to practical skills gained through research, independent study, directed study and workplace scenarios. Students are involved in vocational activities that help them to develop behaviours (the attitudes and approaches required for a competence) and transferable skills.

Transferable skills are those such as communication, teamwork, research and analysis, which are highly valued in higher education and in the workplace.
