Testimonial

I had previously worked as a block layer but was forced to stop due to injury and to reskill. This course teaches you the theory behind construction processes as well as providing you with the opportunity to apply those theories practically.

This course is the perfect vehicle to prepare you for third-level construction industry courses and I now plan to progress to SETU next year to study civil engineering.
