Product Description

From the Inside Flap
A Building Craft Foundation is a self-study learning package which covers the NVQ Construction Craft Common Core for all trainees who are working toward an NVQ award in one of the construction crafts. The five units provide a broad foundation for those entering a career in construction and give complete coverage of the Common Core.

001 The Construction Industry
002 Health and Safety
003 Communications
004 Scaffolding
005 Materials

A Building Craft Foundation is part of a series of books specially written for the NVQ Construction awards by leading authors including Peter Brett and W G Nash. In addition to A Building Craft Foundation, there are two other Level 2 books, Carpentry and Joinery and Bricklaying.

Peter Brett has written numerous books on carpentry and joinery and was involved in piloting the new NVQ schemes at Brooklyn College, Birmingham. He is, therefore, well qualified to write this Common Core book, plus the Carpentry and Joinery book at Level 2. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

2.0 out of 5 stars Disappointing, 9 Sep 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: Building Craft Foundation: NVQ Common Core (Construction Compentences for NVQ) (Paperback)
As a lecturer I am dasappointed with this book as it has just been reprinted but still contains errors found in the original publication. It is out of date and has needed updating for some time. One of the main problems is that when students read a book they accept what is written as fact and find it difficult to accept that it could contain errors. The table on fire exingishers was incorrect on the first addition and is now also out of date as the regulations have changed. The working platforms on the tressels and steps are incorrect. The light weight staging board would not fit between the stiles of a pair of steps. These are just two of the glairing errors in the book. There have been a number of changes to regulations over the past ten years when this book was first published. This information is now well out of date and will cause confusion to students as no reference is made to the new regulations. The publishers have missed a golden opertunity to bring this book up to date and relate it to the new NVQs introduced from this September. Students have not taken to the layout of this book and consider it a bit micky mouse with the characters down the margins of the pages. Some student totaly ignore the margins and miss vital information required for assignments.

Having said this a lot of the content is good and I will still be recomending this book to my studants as no alternative book is available.
