Construction and Building Technology

Build the foundations for a successful career in construction.

Construction and Building Technology are industries at the core of our modern world, offering a wide range of opportunities to shape the environments where we live, work, and play. If you are interested in creating structures, solving technical challenges, and contributing to sustainable practices, our programmes are designed to equip you with the skills needed to excel in this field.

You can develop practical skills in carpentry, plumbing, and electrical installation, along with a solid understanding of construction technology and health and safety standards. With guidance from experienced industry professionals, you will learn to work with various tools, materials, and techniques essential to modern building projects. From technical drawing and planning to hands-on building, you will gain a deep understanding of construction's theoretical and practical aspects.

Outside of the classroom, you may have the chance to gain real-world experience through work placements, site visits, and collaborative projects. You can also connect with industry partners and access guest talks led by experts. Whether you aspire to become a skilled tradesperson, site manager, or building technician, our programmes provide you with the knowledge and experience to build a rewarding career in this essential industry.

The atmosphere at the open evening was inviting. The teachers have been the best help in aiding us to learn and I have enjoyed seeing how far I’ve come over the year.
