Modern Construction Methods: Discussion
Mr. Tony Dalton:
To come back to the modularisation of provision, it is the future of provision, notwithstanding the value of what we may call a major award, be that a level 5, 6 or 7. The flexibility of provision is something we as providers and education and training bodies must address because it makes the programme far more accessible. As we move into the future, what we may call green or future construction jobs, some of which may not yet exist, will take a modular approach and will probably change the way people experience the learning process. That will change over time. While apprenticeships and major awards at apprenticeship are critically important, they are set in stone. How we provide that will have to change.
