Based at our Construction Skills Hub, located at the heart of a major housing development, this short course in Construction skills offers learners the opportunity to train in a realistic, live-site environment. The course is designed to fast-track learners into employment by developing the practical skills, technical knowledge, and professional behaviours required on today’s construction sites.

Course Structure

Delivered in partnership with a range of local and regional construction employers, the programme focuses on the core skills needed to work safely and effectively on site. Throughout the programme, learners will gain hands-on experience in:

  • Health, safety, and site practice, including safe systems of work, PPE, and working at height
  • The correct selection, use, and maintenance of tools, equipment, and materials
  • Setting out, measuring, and interpreting drawings, plans, and specifications
  • Constructing brick and blockwork, including cavity and solid walls, DPCs, insulation, lintels, and openings
  • Understanding modern methods of construction, including timber frame infill systems
  • Developing professional behaviours such as teamwork, communication, reliability, and site conduct

On successful completion, learners will receive their CSCS Green Card, enabling them to work legally on construction sites across the UK. Learners will also be guaranteed an interview with one of our employer partners, providing a direct pathway into employment, an apprenticeship, or further training within the construction sector.
