Factors that affect completion time
While 12 months is the typical completion time, the exact steel erecting course duration can be affected by a number of different factors which we explore in more detail below.
Individual pace and dedication
Due to the nature of the Level 3 Steel Erecting qualification, in that it’s primarily carried out on the job, the course duration is heavily dictated by the learner’s pace and dedication to gathering the necessary evidence.
Prior experience and qualifications
If you have a higher level of relevant experience and qualifications, you may be able to complete the Level 3 Diploma in Steel Erecting in a shorter period than the typical 12-month duration by demonstrating existing competence to the assessor.
Level of assessor support
A supportive and professional assessor can be essential for helping the learner to properly understand the course criteria and which evidence should be collected.
The pace at which an individual can achieve this diploma is therefore heavily influenced by the assessor’s availability to both offer support and conduct on-site visits.
What to expect after completing the diploma
Whether completing the diploma takes you the full year or a little longer, having a clear understanding of how the qualification can benefit your professional career before you get started is crucial.
After completing the Engineering Construction Industry Training Board (ECITB) qualification in Steel Erecting, the learner will then be awarded a Level 3 card as a combined Client/Contractor National Safety Group/Assuring Competence in Engineering (CCNSG/ACE) card.
With this card offering validation of the holder’s credentials, they’ll be able to move more freely between civil and engineering construction sites, increasing their career opportunities and earning potential.
