Please be aware of the following steps prior to booking onto the course:
Step 1 - Complete the following application form - CIOB Application Form - Level 5 Diploma in Public Service Building Control
Step 2 - The tutor will review and a coordinator will confirm course suitability
Step 3 - Book onto the course

The Level 5 Diploma in Public Service Building Control Surveying is designed for building control officers working in the construction sector who are dealing with new housing, low and high-rise apartments and commercial and industrial projects. This qualification develops the learner’s knowledge and skills to evaluate applications for compliance, liaise with stakeholders and carry out inspections to construction projects safely and efficiently.

All learning, lectures and assignments will take place via distance learning on the LABC Virtual Learning Environment.

• Tutor Led Learning: Online interactive lectures with facilitated activities. We recommend that you attend all lectures but understand that this isn't always possible. All lectures will be recorded and made available to those students who are not able to attend. So if you miss them you can always catch up later at a more convenient time / day.
• Self-directed study: Required on top of the Thursday lectures which should involve (e-learning, researching, studying, working on assignments and on-site experience with mentor/manager).
• Exams: One compulsory week of exams.
• Support: As this is an intensive vocational course students must be allocated a mentor and at least 20% of their working time for "off the job learning". This equates to one day a week for lectures, self-directed study and time to go on-site to put theory into practice.

Please be aware of the following steps prior to booking onto the course:
Step 1 - Complete the following application form - CIOB Application Form - Level 6 Fire Safety in Complex Buildings
Step 2 - The tutor will review and a coordinator will confirm course suitability
Step 3 - Book onto the course

We worked with accreditation bodies to develop a unique Level 6 qualification that explores the roles and responsibilities of those involved in ensuring the fire safety of a building from inception to demolition. We focus specifically on both existing and new buildings without being restricted exclusively by the definition of a higher risk building given in the Building Safety Act and associated regulations, and therefore consider a variety of increasingly complex buildings. 

This Level 6 qualification is a recognised pathway to independent competency validation. 

Lectures take place within the eleven teaching weeks we'll host an afternoon workshop where you'll discuss complex case studies with expert guest speakers and your peers.

It would be beneficial for you to attend all of the afternoon, and this is our recommendation as the opportunity to discuss and debate the subject of the day is invaluable; however, if you do miss any due to work commitments, you'll be able to catch up in your own time as all workshops will be recorded. There isn’t an exam for this qualification, you'll have a few weeks’ break following your last workshop, after which time your assignment will be due. In the unlikely event you refer on your first attempt at your assignment, you'll have two more attempts to pass.

This qualification requires the use of a wide range of sources to develop and expand your knowledge base and evidence your detailed understanding of the subject matter.

STUDENT FEEDBACK

"The breadth of the course content has been good in enabling the provision of complex information in sensible blocks of learning."

"I have vastly increased my knowledge of fire safety over the last 11 weeks, this course was more than a refresher course I have learnt much more specific areas of fire safety. The weekly presentations were very informative and detailed from materials testing to firefighting processes and procedures, most of which I was not knowledgeable about at the start of the course. The weekly specialist speakers were very informative and presented their content well. The course was very intensive taking a lot of home time working, difficult to do when we are all fully employed with busy weekly workloads. But the course was very advantageous for the preparation of the Specialist surveyor validation exam. The website site set up was very impressive and user friendly in my view including to be able to return to the specific areas of course content is very beneficial to recap specific areas of knowledge. This is most useful for work and for the upcoming validation exams. All in all Trevor delivered the course very well it was a success and very beneficial to a qualified building control surveyor."

"Thanks Trevor and all, has really helped me to feel more confident in my approach."

"The course has expanded my knowledge of ADB and the BS 999 range of documents. Very informative course which has greatly improved my fire safety knowledge and experience to progress in the workplace." 

"Overall, to date, I am extremely pleased to have had the opportunity to be on the course and it is definitely a worthwhile exercise and I wish this had been available to me years ago."
