What You'll Learn
This Entry Level course will give you the basic skills and knowledge in the four areas of Plastering, Brickwork, Carpentry & Joinery and Painting & Decorating. Whilst in Plastering you will learn how to prepare background surfaces and apply render and finishing coats. You will learn how to mix Plaster and apply finishing coats and floating coats. Whilst undertaking the Brickwork segment of this course you will learn how to construct half brick walls, to lay blocks and how to build corners competently in various brickwork bonds. As the course progresses into Carpentry & Joinery our tutors will teach you how to accurately mark out, saw and chisel safely to form halving joints, housing joints and mortice and tenon joints. Finally in the last part of this construction carousel you will learn from our Painting tutors how to prepare background surfaces, and professionally paint and hang various wall coverings to a variety of different surfaces. You will also learn about the wider Construction Industry which includes progression routes, other roles and how the construction and build environment sector works together.
How Will I Be Assessed?
Assessment will be undertaken by the completion of various practical tasks which will be linked to the vocational area in which you are studying in. i.e. whilst in Brickwork you will be required to construct a wall from a drawing and your tutor will assess your work against a set of skills which match the standard of work expected in industry. You will be presented with similar tasks as you progress through the four distinct career pathways.
