Get started in construction

There are two ways to start your journey into construction plant, through an apprenticeship or a career change. Whichever way, we can assure you it’s a great choice to make with plenty of benefits!

Apprenticeships

Our ‘earn and learn’ course is a combination of training, education and on-the-job learning and takes 15 months to complete. Throughout that time, you will learn a set of knowledge, skills and behaviours focused towards four machine types. These include: 360 degree excavator, dumper / dump truck, forklift and ride-on roller.

You will attend college on a block release at several points throughout the course. The rest of the time you will be working on a live site, gaining all the vital and necessary skills to set you up for your career. At the end of the programme, you will undertake an end point assessment and if successful, will be deemed competent to work as a plant operator. Job done!

Career changers

Fancy a change? Looking for something completely different with great opportunities?

If you’re ready for a fresh start with real opportunities for growth, why not explore a career in the built environment and infrastructure sector?

You might already have the transferable skills to succeed and we’re here to help you build on them. With access to funded skills programmes, you’ll gain hands-on experience and learn to operate a range of machinery and tools.

Whether you’re interested in apprenticeships, Skills Bootcamps, or other upskilling programmes, there’s never been a better time to take the next step.
