About this course

You can progress to Level 3 Trowel Occupations or if your work arrangements have changed such that you are covering other aspects of construction. If so, you may see it to be beneficial to diversify and gain industry approved accreditation through our other construction courses.

Entry will be based on a combination of GCSE passes, previous work experience, achievement on a relevant progression course and results of an online assessment – this will be discussed at an interview. Maths and English at Level C or above would be preferable.
