Professional Construction Courses

If you’re practical, good with numbers and work well with your hands…

The construction industry is fast-moving and always evolving – techniques and technologies develop rapidly and legislation is always changing – and this is reflected in our course content and delivery.

Our courses are delivered by tutors with extensive knowledge and experience in the industry and their professional expertise is valued by our students.

There are excellent facilities, with training areas designed to simulate the working environment. Further Education qualifications include nationally recognised T Level qualification, whilst apprenticeships are also available, allowing students to earn while they learn, as well as gaining first-hand experience of the industry sector in a working environment.

Professional technical construction and building services programmes provide learners with an excellent opportunity to gain a qualification and develop skills for the construction industry; there are a number of career paths available and many job prospects both locally and nationally.

helpful and have pushed me to reach my full potential, they

StanleyLevel 2 BrickworkI enjoy the practical work because it feels realistic to the job.
I’ve met great people, and it’s been a fun, hands-on
experience that’s made me excited to start a career
in bricklaying.
OliviaLevel 2 BrickworkI wanted to be different and prove to people it is possible
to do something else. The facilities are amazing with good
quality equipment and my tutor Steve's been helpful.
Everyone is kind and there's help available if needed.
Josh JohnstonJoshLevel 3 BrickworkI only came to Colchester Institute due to how close it
was to where I lived. When I got here though, I found
myself in an open minded and friendly space, with access
to some great tutors, equipment and facilities.

learn both practical skills and theory, which gives a
well-rounded understanding. The facilities are great
and support our learning really well.

try. The location is close to town, the tutors are great, and
I hope to go into stage design, specialising in murals.
