Course Overview

The construction industry is one of the largest and broadest to work in, employing around 7% of the UK’s workforce, and there is always a demand for skilled professionals. An apprenticeship in construction is a form of vocational training where you will follow an NOCN approved standard to develop skills and knowledge and then demonstrate and evidence your application in a construction environment.
