First 6 Weeks – Training Centre Programme
During the first 6 weeks, you will attend our training centre and complete a structured programme designed to prepare you for employment within the construction industry.
You will begin by undertaking your Level 4 Health & Safety Qualification, gaining a nationally recognised certification that lasts for life and demonstrates your understanding of safe working practices within the workplace.

Upon successful completion, we will support you with the application process for your CSCS Card, providing you with an industry recognised credential required for access to most construction sites.
After obtaining your qualification and CSCS test pass, you will complete an Employability Skills Unit, helping you become work ready through:
