Construction has been a cornerstone of the British economy for centuries and it shows no sign of losing its value. There will always be a need for new buildings whether they are homes, offi ces or community projects. For every development undertaken each one requires trades people to build, insulate, plumb, heat, wire and decorate. In relation to industry this means employers are increasingly seeking out skilled crafts people to ensure quality and the ability to work to deadlines. However the desire to improve living and working environments is also a growing area as demonstrated by the surge of home improvement centres. Whether you wish to learn new skills, or develop existing capabilities as a career or a hobby, these courses are taught by experienced professionals from each sector of the industry. All courses are vocational which means you benefi t from working in a practical learning environment. For experienced bricklayers, carpenters and joiners who are in employment we offer qualifi cations that allow assessment to take place on site with no need to take time out of work.
