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.
The course is fully funded, removing financial barriers and opening the door to sustainable careers in the construction industry.
