Latest News
There is always so much going on across our various campuses and courses. Stay up to date on our latest news.
The Construction Training Centre has been open for just over four months, and is already proving a popular destination for construction firms.
The centre was developed in response to the growing demand for a trained and skilled construction workforce, and is the first of its kind in the region.
It isn’t focussed on providing training for one industry, but is instead a ‘one-stop shop’ that offers training courses in:
- Plant
- Health and safety
- Scaffolding
- Highways and groundworks
- Driver training
- Warehousing
The courses are developed around employers and their needs, to ensure that the centre provides relevant and effective training.
The facility is impressive, and boasts all the equipment you would expect to find on a construction site.
You can see images from the centre below.

This community continues to thrive thanks to our students’ positive attitude and involvement. We look forward to seeing all the excitement as you start the next chapter in your lives!
