WHY CHOOSE CONSTRUCTION SKILLS COLLEGE?

We have been in business for 20 years and during this time we have provided training to 1000’s of learners.

We are a decent and honest construction training centre. All our course prices are on our website so you do not have to leave details to then be hassled by a sales person. We encourage you to contact us and to visit our centre to see a course in action and speak with the learners. We will not consistently contact you to try and pressure you onto a course, we don’t need to as our courses fill anyway.

Our training courses are delivered by experienced tradespeople and not a jack of all trades, so you can be confident you are being taught skills you will actually use in the real world, as you are being taught by people who have used those skills to earn a living. The tutors are passionate about their trades and have a passion for passing on their skills.

Our courses contain the right mix of theory and practical training and all tools and materials are provided throughout the course. We do not drag our courses out and spend ages in a classroom. Our two week courses contain more practical and relevant theory than some competitors 3 and 4 week courses. For example, one of our competitors offers a 2 week carpentry course and state you will hang a door if there is time; on our course you will hang two doors.

Practical training is delivered in good sized bays so you have a realistic environment to practice and there are plenty of materials available. Compare the sizes of our training bays with competitors and also the materials used, for example , some tiling courses only use 150mm x 150mm tiles throughout the training.

You are fully supported after you complete your course and you can contact your tutor for further advice and guidance. We are all here to support you to use your new skills to complete work and earn decent money. This support is ongoing with no time limit on when you can contact the centre and your tutors.

Our courses are designed for people with little or no previous experience. The courses are attended by adults aged in their 20’s, 30’s, 40’s, 50’s, 60’s. We do not offer apprenticeships, projects for long term unemployed or training for under 18’s.

We are worth travelling to. There are a number of hotels locally where you can stay whilst on our training course and rooms you can let. We have people travelling from all over not just the UK (Manchester, Liverpool, Kent, London, Birmingham, South Coast, etc) but form all over the world. We have people travelling from Brunei, America, Europe to attend our courses. You are investing in yourself and should not be put off by the distance you have to travel.

Below is a video we received from a gent who used his ELC funding to complete plastering, plumbing and tiling courses at our centre. The video shows a walkthrough of a job he completed where he took the rooms from bare brick to a finished master bedroom with ensuite.
