Level 2 JPQ Diploma in Building Trades
Introduction
This one-year course provides a practical introduction to the construction industry, giving students the opportunity to explore and develop skills across a range of building trades. It is ideal for full-time learners who are interested in pursuing a career in construction and wish to progress into the industry through further training or an apprenticeship.
Students will attend college up to four days per week, taking part in a structured timetable that includes both practical workshops and classroom-based theory. The course covers core trade areas, including:
- Carpentry and Joinery
- Painting and Decorating
- Blockwork
Starting in September, the course is designed to build foundational knowledge, improve practical ability, and prepare learners for progression into a trade-specific apprenticeship or further study within the construction sector.

It was really nice to communicate with people in different trades, see how they tackled problems, and learn from their experiences.
