About this course

We aim to engage some of the hardest to reach by using construction techniques that combines prolonged focus, personal interest, sense of achievement and self-confidence. This programme can deliver a City and Guilds Level 1 Qualification in Construction Skills (QCF). Sessions are tailored to individual learning styles, focusing on developing skills and giving young people the opportunity to showcase their work to potential employers. We provide an additional wrap-around package of cognitive behavioural support and pastoral care, supporting positive choices and providing them with healthy and stable ways to get involved and positive role models.

Referrals can be made any time by contacting the student's school.
