Employability development is embedded throughout, covering CV writing, interview preparation, teamwork and communication.
With pathways leading to the CSCS Labourer Card or Skilled Worker progression, this programme opens opportunities across construction firms, contractors, refurbishment companies, property-maintenance teams, and specialist trade employers.
The course combines practical trade training, health and safety units, employability support, and progression pathways.

Skilled Worker Pathway options include Bricklaying, Joinery, Wall & Floor Tiling, Carpentry Fundamentals, Plastering, Painting & Decorating, Plumbing and Electrical basics, supported by a mandatory 30-hour industry placement. Additional qualifications, such as NVQ Level 2 in Trowel Occupations or Plaster Skimming, may be offered depending on progression and pathway choice.
There are no formal academic entry requirements for this programme. Learners must be aged 19 or over, possess the right to live and work in the UK, and demonstrate a basic understanding of English to ensure safe participation in practical activities. A short initial assessment and informal interview will confirm suitability for the chosen pathway. Prior experience is welcome but not essential, as all training begins at foundation level.
