The partners involved in the delivery of Construction and
the Built Environment are BTG, Bedford College and John Bunyan
Community College. This provision is available from September
2009 across North and Mid Beds.
For the Diploma in Construction and the Build Environment
your course will look at 3 areas:
1. Designing the built environment: Learning how the built
environment is designed and constructed, how it impacts on
people and communities, and how history, politics and economics
affect it
2. Creating the built environment: Developing a range of
skills and knowledge needed in different industries – for
example, using tools and understanding modern construction
methods and materials
3. Valuing and using the built environment: Analysing the
need for good management and continuous maintenance, and
understanding the importance of good design, workmanship
and teamwork
If you're doing a Higher or Advanced Diploma, you'll be looking
at the same themes but exploring them in more detail and
in different practical ways. Like focusing on architectural
elements, community involvement and the variety of things
that shape and influence what we build.
