Build a career helping to design, construct and improve the infrastructure that communities depend on. This level 4 higher Apprenticeship combines paid employment with higher education at City College Plymouth, helping you develop the technical knowledge, practical skills and professional confidence needed for civil engineering work.
You will apply your learning to real projects, from surveying and analysing structures to producing digital designs and planning construction works. Your College studies lead to the Pearson BTEC Level 4 Higher National Certificate in Civil Engineering, alongside workplace training that develops the knowledge, skills and behaviours required of a Civil Engineering Senior Technician.
The programme is suitable for people progressing from relevant level 3 study or an Apprenticeship, and for employees developing their careers in civil engineering. You will learn to make informed technical decisions, communicate engineering information and contribute to safe, sustainable project delivery.
The Apprenticeship typically involves three years of training followed by an end-point assessment period of around four months. Your individual training plan will reflect your role, prior learning and development needs.
