About Construction

Carpentry and Joinery

As the economy recovers and new building projects take shape across the civil engineering and house-building sectors, it’s a great time to train to be a carpenter. Take a look at West Bromwich, where a new shopping centre, state-of-the-art office space, a hotel, cinema and leisure centre are all part of the multi-million pound regeneration project. Then take a look at our modern training workshops, complete with all the space and facilities to train you in the skills you’ll need!
