What Could I do Next
From the Level 3 BTEC you could progress to university to study for a degree in an Construction and Built Environment-related subject such as construction site management, surveying, project management, or architecture. Or you could progress to an Advanced Apprenticeship in Construction and the Built Environment, leading potentially to a Higher Apprenticeship.
