Evidence of attainment in the Level 6 Diploma in Advanced Project Controls practice and techniques may also support a learner’s registration for professional recognition with the ACostE in building a portfolio of evidence that may contribute towards registration for ICostE (incorporated) or potentially towards CPCostE (certified professional), and may provide evidence for some of the competence and commitment required for registration with the Engineering Council (subject to suitable engineering experience) as IEng (Incorporated Engineer) or potentially, CEng (Chartered Engineer).

The ECITB’s apprenticeship programme is its main vehicle for recruiting and training young people to meet the future skills requirements of the industry. Qualifications at Levels 5, 6 and 7 are often an integral part of this scheme.
