Allan's Success at the Construction Training Centre!

Previous
Next

My name is Allan, and I recently completed a Plant Bootcamp at the Construction Training Centre (CTC), which has really helped open the doors to my next great opportunity. 

I gained access to the course through an organisation called ‘Positive People’ and thought it would be a good course for me to complete as I’d always preferred outside, hands-on work instead of working in an office environment, which I’d previously done for more than 20 years in the Transport industry.

Last week twelve first year T Level learners, studying Design, Surveying and Planning for Construction, went on a site visit to the Ashcombe Primary School Construction project, which is being built by John Perkins Construction Limited.

Before entering the site, learners were issued with all the correct Personal Protective Equipment and given a Health and Safety Site Induction by Richard Mann, the Site Manager for John Perkins Construction.

I wanted to learn a trade I could use to set up my own business so that I could work the hours I need to and have quality time with my family too.

My teachers have given me so much help – when I struggle with English words, or with new ways of plastering, they are always supportive and always have the answers.

I am now doing the higher-level course so that I can learn as much as I can, and gain as much experience as I can before I set up my business. I know as and when I’m ready, the College will give me the help I need to progress with my future.

"Weston College is equipped with everything I need to learn about electrical installation. The workshops at the South West Skills Campus are packed with all the tools, equipment, and supplies I could ever want to practice and develop new electrical skills, and computers are freely available for my theory lessons.

Support is always available too – whenever I have encountered any issues in my studies, the staff have always helped me and shown me that a solution can be found."

“I wanted to pursue a career in civil engineering, and when I contacted Weston College, they recommended the T Level, which turned out to be the best choice for me. I'm really enjoying the emphasis on work experience in this course, and I appreciate how specific and relevant all the learning materials are to the industry.
