Course Summary
This course is suitable for giving learners a great introduction to the exciting world of construction. Learners will learn about Health and Safety, the building environment, and gain insight into various practical trades. This will include electrical Installation and plumbing.
If a learner then decides that they have a particular flair, or interest in either electrical installation and plumbing, then we offer both trades at either Level 2 or 3, depending on the learner’s requirements or level of ability. These units involve working through a series of set assessments. The learner works independently and at their own pace but is fully assisted and encouraged to enable them to achieve the required outcomes.
The construction programme is for anyone aged 16-25 with an Education Health Care Plan (EHCP).
