Construction & the Built Environment HND “I’m really enjoying gaining a broader knowledge of the construction process; things that you don’t necessarily learn being in a trade, such as planning laws and

building regulations. It’s also good to work alongside other students on my course who have come from different areas of the industry.

It’s been challenging getting back into education alongside work and I feel it will be well earned when I qualify at the end of the three years!”

Electrical Installation Domestic Installer Level 3 “I am a self employed Plasterer and this course is basically an extension of my current job. Once I become a fully qualified Electrician I’m hoping it will enable me to gain more work as I will be able to quote for electrical work alongside

the plastering work.

The tutors not only help me in the classroom but they also offer support while I’m at work; I can call them at College for advice.

It’s a good, fun environment and I have met some great people. The facilities are really up to date and the course has provided a great stepping stone to further business opportunities.”
