This course is designed to assist students to gain a sound foundation knowledge of skills required for the building and construction industry.

The course will be split between classroom, and carpentry facility/workshop.

Students will require their own PPE (personal protective equipment) including steel capped boots.

Construction materials are not included in the price, however some schools have found it beneficial to carry out building projects to benefit the school – such as outdoor tables, and garden boxes.

The certificate in civil construction and temporary traffic management both involve an understanding of building and construction safety.
