With this course, you will learn how to construct block, brick and cavity walling and will develop the hand skills needed to use a variety of tools.

Your listening and problem solving skills will form a big part of this course as you'll work independently to complete a variety of written and practical tasks.

Our previous student, Chris, completed this course before progressing on to the Level 2 Diploma.

The course will start in September and will take one year to complete.

This course will take place at our STEM Centre Campus, Pocket Nook Street, St Helens, WA9 1TT.

During this course, you will cover the following units:

Achieving a good standard of English and maths is a key requirement for many jobs, as well as for courses you may wish to progress on to. If you achieve below a grade 4 in your English and maths GCSEs at school, you will study it alongside your course when you join us.
