The Construction Pathway will provide you with a basic introduction to the occupational areas within the construction industry including Bricklaying, Plastering, and Carpentry & Joinery. The course will provide you with an insight into the industry, organisations and job roles. You will develop your skills and knowledge by completing practical projects in the workshops, studying health and safety and carrying out operations. You will also complete study units to improve your personal and social skills. The course is designed to support you to develop the skills to progress onto a Level 1 course in Bricklaying, Plastering or Carpentry & Joinery.

These course are assessed using a variety of methods including written work, practical activities, role play, presentations, group discussions, diagrams, posters and work experience.
