Construction Skills, Entry Level 3 (January)

Course Overview

The Entry Level Multi-Skills course is designed to help you develop practical trade skills while exploring a range of construction disciplines. Through hands-on learning in industry-standard workshops, you’ll gain valuable experience and build confidence using tools, equipment and materials in a safe and professional environment.

During the course, you’ll be introduced to a variety of trade areas including brickwork, carpentry and joinery and plumbing. This broad approach allows you to discover your strengths and interests before progressing to a specialist construction course.

Alongside practical skills, you’ll develop essential employability skills such as teamwork, communication, problem-solving and health and safety awareness, helping you prepare for further study, apprenticeships or employment.

This course is ideal for students who enjoy practical learning, want to explore different construction trades, or are looking to take their first step into the construction industry.
