We can accommodate single students or block bookings from schools, APs, CICs, and Trusts. The maximum number of pupils per group is 6.
This course is purely practical based, which means that your tasks will be hands-on giving you a good understanding of the principles of construction. Candidates are assessed throughout the course through written, verbal and video evidence (subject to the student’s/schools’/APs’/Trusts’ permission).
