It also contains lots of added extras such as English and maths training, relevant work experience and health and safety training. To be able to work on a construction site, you'll need essential health, safety and environmental awareness skills and knowledge.
We'll help you get these, meaning you can go on work placements and are one step closer to securing employment or an apprenticeship.
The course is made up of the following units:

- Maintain and use carpentry and joinery hand tools
- Produce woodworking joints
- Prepare and use carpentry and joinery portable power tools
- Knowledge of construction technology
- Knowledge of technical information, quantities and communication with others.
- Your progress will be monitored through a series of short on-line tests, regular practical assessments and an extensive skills test at the end of the course.
Maths and English
You will also attend maths and English sessions and have the opportunity
to improve your GCSE grades if you need to.
We will track your progresss throughout the course, giving you feedback on how to improve if needed.
You will be assessed through practical tasks and projects from which you'll create a portfolio of practical evidence, set online exams and written assignments/coursework.
All assessments are carried out against national standards specific to the constrution trade.
A highly motivated team of industry specialists with a wealth of knowledge across a wide range of vocational trades will form your teaching team.
Our aim is to work with you to support you to develop your knowledge, skills and behaviours to succeed in the construction environment.
