About this course

If you're in Year 10 and feel like you would benefit from learning practical construction skills away from school, our 14-16 programme might be the right option for you. You could benefit from our professional pre-college environment, which is very different to school.

This is a two-year programme which delivers City and Guilds 6219 Extended Certificate in Construction Skills (QCF). This is broadly equivalent to one GCSE Grade 2-5. It is designed for 14-16 year groups who are working at level 1 and want to include a study of construction in their broader Key Stage 4 curriculum. Pupils benefit from small class sizes where they can receive extra input from our highly experienced tutors.
