  • GCSE grade 4 (or equivalent) or higher in Mathematics

Mathematics and English skills will be embedded into all lessons.

You will learn on-site, in the classroom and in the practical workshop. There may be some requirement to complete work online, but this will be kept to a minimum.  

While we make every endeavour to run programmes as advertised, we reserve the right to cancel those which do not enrol sufficient numbers to make them viable.

You will need to supply your own basic stationery, notebook, padlock, safety footwear, work trousers, safety glasses and work gloves. You will also be required to purchase a uniform once you have started the course.

There is an expectation that you will purchase a basic tool kit once you are settled into the course.

A range of assessment methods will be used throughout the course:

  • A portfolio of ongoing training and assessment in both practical and theory work, which will be graded for quality and content
  • Final skills assessment which will be graded against set criteria
  • Final knowledge assessment in the form of a multiple-choice exam

You can advance to further qualifications or progress your career within the construction industry. Potential options may include:
