School 11 GCSEs � College BTEC Level 3 in Construction and the Built Environment � Work Experience Construction Trainee � Degree Apprenticeship (current) “BTEC opened doors I never knew existed, making me into the person I am today” Elizabeth Findlay Keepmoat Homes Thanks to the help and support of my teacher, I chose to study a Level 3 BTEC in Construction and the Built Environment. My BTEC opened doors that I didn’t know existed, giving me the possibility of many career paths. It covered different areas of the industry, showing the inner workings of various job roles, which gave us all the confidence to follow these paths. I can honestly say, the decision to study BTEC was the best education/career move I made. I now work in the industry where I belong; in construction. I put this all down to my BTEC, and my amazing teachers (and now friends) Lynsey Hanson and Adam Thompson.
