About this course

Level 3 Building, Installation and Property Maintenance Skills Course in Stoke-on-Trent. Classes run at Construction Skills College, full-time during the day. Service leavers can use ELC and IRTC funding for this course. Fees may apply for other learners. You choose three trades from plastering, plumbing and heating, wall and floor tiling, carpentry, kitchen fitting, bricklaying, and domestic electrical installation. Each trade is taught by a specialist tutor. The course runs over approximately six weeks. No formal entry requirements apply.

Who this course is for

This course is perfect for individuals looking to gain practical, industry-relevant skills for building installation and property maintenance projects. Fully accredited, it provides hands-on training in three trades of your choice from the following options: Plastering, Plumbing, Tiling, Carpentry, Kitchen Fitting, Bricklaying, and Domestic Electrical Installation.

We understand that everyone’s career goals and interests are different, so this course allows you to customize your training to focus on the trades most relevant to you, ensuring you are fully prepared for real-world projects.

Throughout the program, you will develop both technical expertise and practical problem-solving skills.
