The Level 4 Diploma in Public Service Building Control Surveying is designed specifically for new building control officers working in a building control team. Students will need to be given the opportunity to gain experience performing site inspections and plan checks for domestic extensions and alterations. This qualification develops the learner’s knowledge and skills to evaluate applications for compliance, liaise with stakeholders and carry out inspections to domestic 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.
