You do not need to be employed within your chosen trade to undertake this course as it will teach you the underpinning knowledge required as well as ‘building’ your practical skills. You can then progress to the Level 2 and Level 3 courses where you will be introduced to the whole building experience and develop all the knowledge and skills you need to become a professional. You will continue to develop your practical skills and theoretical knowledge required for this well-respected craft in the building industry.
