Training and qualifications
Construction offers a range of different qualifications and routes for developing the skills and competence employers require.

If you are an employer, training and learning is important to satisfy your business needs. By taking on an apprentice you'll be developing new talent for the continued success of your business.

If you are a young person and want to start working straight away, you can start an apprenticeship. The skills you develop will be recognised through NVQ/SVQs, and you will get the opportunity to earn as you learn.

If you're an experienced worker, you can prove your skills and experience, and gain a qualification and CSCS card, via On-Site Assessment and Training (OSAT) or Experience Worker Practical Assessment (EWPA). In addition, professional qualifications can be gained as part of a structured work-based training programme.

There are hundreds of different training and assessment providers offering construction related training courses, including the National Construction College. More than 90 Higher Education Institutes and 400 Colleges of Further Education also offer Construction and the Built Environment related courses.
