Welcome to Leeds College of Building

If you want a successful career in construction, you’ve come to the right place!

There has never been a better time to join this exciting industry, with so many companies looking for talented people to join their team.

As the UK’s only specialist construction college, we really are the best in the business when it comes to construction. So, if you fancy a study programme or an apprenticeship, this is the right place for you.

Some people want to learn a trade that will benefit them for the rest of their life, others want to study for a technician level qualification so they can work as an architect, engineer or project manager and others do both!

As a Student Governor and a Construction and the Built Environment student, I’d like to welcome you to Leeds College of Building. It’s a fantastic place to study with so many opportunities available to you. We hope to see you at the College soon.

Even if you’re unsure about the trade or career that’s right for you, our advisers can help you work out the best course and career for you.

Once you’ve had a flick through this guide, if you want to find out more just call 0113 222 6002 for a chat.
