Plumbing Courses
Our Level 1 plumbing courses run over 5 or 10 days, providing practical skills in bathroom fitting and core plumbing techniques. Learners gain nationally recognised qualifications through hands-on training with experienced instructors. The intensive format suits both beginners and those seeking formal accreditation for existing skills.
Tiling Courses
From 1-day taster sessions to 10-day Level 1 courses, we teach wall and floor tiling techniques with Cskills certification. Practical training covers various surfaces and patterns, preparing learners for real-world applications. Courses cater to both career changers and tradespeople seeking formal qualifications.
Plastering Courses
Offering 2-day skimming courses and 5-10 day Level 1 programmes, we teach both traditional and modern plastering methods. Training includes ceiling work and surface preparation, with Cskills certification upon completion. Small class sizes ensure individualised attention for skill development.
Carpentry Courses
Level 1 carpentry and joinery courses run over 10 days, covering essential woodworking skills. Learners work with industry-standard tools to develop practical abilities in timber construction and finishing. The programme prepares students for further NVQ assessments or employment in the construction sector.
NVQ Assessments
We offer NVQ Level 2 assessments through both centre-based (EWPA) and on-site (OSAT) routes. The 1-2 day EWPA route requires 5+ years experience, while OSAT involves workplace assessments over several weeks for those with 3+ years experience. These routes lead to CSCS blue skilled worker card eligibility.
