The emphasis is on real-world practical skills in this £2.5 million centre, where you’ll learn trades such as painting and decorating, plastering, bricklaying, tiling, plumbing, electrical installation and carpentry.
We’ve also built an outdoor groundworks and civil engineering training area, in partnership with award-winning civil engineering company McPhillips.
It’s all designed to equip students with practical skills for the modern construction industry – one of the fastest growing sectors in the UK.
This real-world environment allows learners to gain experience that mirrors professional construction sites.
We have strong links with local employers to ensure our training remains relevant and employment-focused.
With a focus on sustainability and modern building techniques, the centre plays a vital role in preparing students for careers in a fast-evolving sector – where there is a huge demand for skilled staff.
