Environmental sustainability and conservation is becoming increasingly important in meeting the green agenda for the UK, and through raising awareness of natural building, this suite of qualifications aim to ultimately lead change in attitudes towards the built environment. Due to the increased awareness of global warming and sustainability, it is key to apply this to the built environment and to develop an awareness of the environmental impact of buildings on the environment.
The AIM Qualifications Suite of Natural Building Qualifications will engage and empower learners to change attitudes whilst also providing opportunities to apply knowledge. This movement is leading to an increase in ‘self build’ projects, utilising low technology approaches to construction.
These qualifications will apply these principles and allow learners to gain an overall understanding of
a range of natural building methods.
This suite of qualifications includes:
Practical-based Awards in a range of natural building techniques, which learners may choose to develop their own practical skills in:
• Log House Building
• Strawbale Building
• Timber Frame Building
And, for learners wishing to develop a good overall understanding of both the practical skills and knowledge, the Level 2 Extended Award in Natural Building enables learners to complete any one of the practical-based natural building techniques in addition to the mandatory knowledge based unit.
To achieve this qualification learners must complete all the essential components (see Qualification Specification).
