Free Construction Course with The London Construction Academy

The London Construction Academy, funded by The Paviors Company Livery Trust for Charities (Charity number 1102885), provides free training to help the hard-to-reach in London’s boroughs who are not in employment, education or training (NEETS) into achieving transferable skills for the construction sector.

Our 10 day fully funded courses are designed to motivate many people in London into realising that there are real skill shortages in the construction sector particularly amongst technicians and craftsmen and that there are apprenticeship and work experience opportunities for those who wish to learn.

Our training courses cover a comprehensive range of skills, procedures and practices, preparing staff for meeting the levels of excellence needed for success in the capital and beyond.

The Academy offers courses for technical delivery, health and safety, customer service and more.  It also partners with leading organisations to share knowledge and best practice for delivering excellence for London’s residents and businesses.

The duration of the course is held at Southwark Construction Skills Centre, Surrey Quays Road, Canada Water, London, SE16 7PJ.  Nearest DLR/Underground Canada Water.
