Construction Success Stories
The qualification is helping me to pursue a career in the construction sector, and my career goal is to progress at Esh group
Harvey McVeigh, HNC in Construction and The Built Environment
There’s nothing else like it that gives you the theory as well as that experience in the workplace.
Logan Riley, T Level in Design Surveying and Planning for Construction
We have got really good friendships on the course and you meet lots of different people. Friends and family have been very supportive and very proud of me.
Lily Collins, Georgia Biswas and Jessica Costello, Bricklaying
The course was practical and hands-on, and the assignments provided me with everything I needed to progress to the next level. I was set up so well for University and because of that I didn’t have to do a foundation year for my degree.
