Level 4 lays the foundation for your learning by providing you with a broad introduction to the Construction sector. The units are designed to develop and strengthen your core skills whilst preparing you to study Level 5 content.

Through the course, you will gain a wide range of knowledge and skills, and develop your practical skills through research, independent study, directed study, and workplace scenarios. Your vocational study will help you to develop key behavioural and transferable skills which are highly valued in both higher education and in the workplace, such as communication, teamwork, research, and analysis.

By the end of your Level 4 apprenticeship, you will have a sound knowledge of supervising on site and competence in a range of subject-specific skills.

Level 4 Construction Site Supervision (Construction)

This qualification is assessed through a Portfolio of Evidence, which is both internally and externally quality assured and compiled from evidence gathered during the learner’s work. Each unit within the qualification has specified learning outcomes and assessment criteria. To pass each unit, you must:
• Achieve all the specified learning outcomes.
• Satisfy all the assessment criteria by providing sufficient and valid evidence for each criterion.
• Prove that the evidence submitted is their own work.

You will need to maintain an assessment record that clearly identifies which assessment criteria have been met. This record should be cross-referenced with the evidence provided, detailing the type of evidence and the date of assessment. Your Training Coordinator will help you organise this.
