Construction & Trades
School Leaver / 16 - 18 yr Old Vocational CoursesThis course will cover numerous trades (carpentry, brickwork, painting & decorating, groundwork) each week and will leave you in a great position to know what trade you'd like to progress into.
Our brand-new construction skills qualification, exclusive to the Wisbech campus, will give you a great grounding on working in construction and a variety of different trades.
The course is a great opportunity to build your skills across a breadth of trades; many construction companies will like the fact that you are skilled across different disciplines but you'll also know which one you'd prefer to do when you think about progressing to a specific course at level 2.
You'll study four different trades for each week (carpentry, painting & decorating, brickwork and groundwork) by spending time in our workshops which are designed to replicate the feel of working in the sector. Theory sessions will cover each trade and important aspects of working in the industry, such as health and safety and a general introduction to working in construction.
The following list is an example of what topics may be included:
If you are home-schooled or do not achieve GCSEs at this level, we will still consider your application and invite you to attend an information session to help confirm that this is the best course for you.
