Overview

The Pearson BTEC Level 3 National Diploma in Building Services Engineering is intended as a Tech Level qualification, equivalent in size to two A Levels.

It allows you to develop significant core knowledge within building services engineering disciplines.

The content of this qualification has been developed in consultation with employers and professional bodies to ensure that it is appropriate for those interested in working in the sector. In addition, higher education representatives have been involved to ensure that it fully supports entry to the relevant range of specialist degrees.

The qualification provides the essential knowledge, understanding and skills that will allow you to progress directly to employment, or to an apprenticeship in the construction sector.

There are six mandatory units, which cover the following aspects of construction:

  • construction principles
  • construction design
  • health and safety in construction
  • construction technology
  • provision of primary services in buildings
  • building services science

There are many roles in this sector where recruitment is at graduate level. The qualification carries UCAS points and is recognised by higher education providers as contributing to meeting the admission requirements to many relevant courses. For example:
