The new NBQ framework provides a tiered-learning path. It allows a student to enrol in a training programme at the level which he can manage. A student may opt to enrol for a programme at the first level and progress to the higher ones in stages. The student will eventually acquire the Advanced NBQ qualification within two years regardless of the level of entry. For example, a Level 1 graduate can proceed to complete a number of courses at Level 2, and in 6.5 months, will be awarded the Higher NBQ. Similarly, after 6.5 months, a Level 2 graduate will be awarded the Advanced NBQ upon completion of a number of courses at Level 3. The total duration is approximately 26 months. (13 months + 6.5 months + 6.5 months = 26 months) Academic Advancements Graduates of Advanced NBQ programmes may continue to pursue a Diploma qualification conferred by BCA Academy. They may be given some exemption, on a case-by-case basis, when they enroll in the following diploma programmes: Diploma in Construction Engineering Diploma in Design (Interior and Landscape) Diploma in Mechanical Engineering (Green Building Technology) Diploma in Strategic Facilities Management Diploma in Electrical Engineering and Clean Energy Graduates of Higher and Advanced NBQ may also upgrade themselves by taking the Specialist Diploma Programmes offered by BCA Academy.
