In the realistic working environment on the lower ground floor we have live build areas where our bricklaying, carpentry and engineering students are able to learn their trades.

Bricklaying students are able to practise their skills in building and block work, inside the workshop and outside in the construction yard.

Carpentry students use the workshop to learn hand tool techniques and then use the realistic working environment to construct timber frame structures, hang doors, fit flooring, and put together roof trusses.

Engineering students learn workshop practices and understand how to use lathes, mills, and welders in the engineering workshop.

Up on the ground floor we have the rest of our construction subject workshops. Our Plumbing students are able to cut, bend, and solder copper piping while working in their own plumbing bay to understand domestic, industrial, and commercial plumbing.

Electrical installation students also benefit from their own electrical bay to understand the principles of electricity and understand how to wire a house.

The Painting and Decorating workshop supplies students with a range of industry standard tools and small-sized rooms so that they can practise a range of decorative techniques. Students are able to paint walls, doors, fixtures and fittings, as well as hang wallpaper and apply other specialist finishes.
