Our Construction courses and apprenticeship programmes train you to become a skilled and qualified tradesperson in Bricklaying, Carpentry, Plastering, Painting and Decorating or a construction profession.
You will learn in our specialist construction and centres and facilities. These include huge tradespecific workshops where you develop your practical skills each week. You’ll start on a course developing skills in two complementary trades, then select one to focus on as you progress.
When you apply to study a construction course with us you will start by studying a Pre-Foundation or a Foundation course (depending on your GCSE esults). The Pre-foundation course offers an introduction into Construction and the Built Environment and a range of trades. The Foundation programme involves focusing on developing skills in two trades and then once you’ve successfully completed this, the progression programme requires you to select one main trade to study.
