BTS Building

The holder of the BTS provides the interface between the worksite, suppliers and the company's hierarchy. He/she is involved at all levels from the design of technical solutions to the acceptance of works.

At the end of the course, he/she is able to:

• design technical solutions from the specification of the need to the detailed definition, in the context of new construction or refurbishment;
• design, with or without digital assistance, the process of carrying out a work;
• validate and technically and economically optimise the "work-process-materials" relationship, particularly in the case of interfaces between structural work and secondary and technical trades;
• manage a site, guaranteeing progress, quality and safety;
• manage a site, in human, material, economic and environmental terms;
• provide a technical and economic response to a request.

In all these activities, the imperatives of quality, cost, safety and human relations are always present, as well as the influence of the environment on the execution of the contract.
As part of their duties, senior building technicians seek to develop relations and commercial approaches with customers. They also act as advisors to their contacts.

The course is organised into several skill modules, allowing for step-by-step progression. It alternates between theoretical input, practical exercises and assessment sessions in order to promote hands-on, progressive learning.

Throughout the course, learners receive personalised support with regular monitoring by the teaching team and progress reviews to tailor learning to each individual’s needs.

A work placement also enables students to develop professional skills in a real-world setting.

Skills are assessed progressively through role-plays, practical exercises, professional projects and assessments carried out throughout the course.

Our teaching methodology prioritises a practical, work-focused approach: case studies, role-plays, practical scenarios and collaborative activities enable learning in conditions that closely resemble the real working world.
