I started on Level 3 in Construction in the Built Environment, and am now studying the Level 4 apprenticeship in Civil Engineering.
I chose to do this as my family work in construction and that’s how I got started this. I am a setting out engineer for a ground works company and essentially tell people where to build things and how high to build residential buildings.
I might even do the level 5 and 6 here part-time or go to university. I find it easy to balance work and College. I have found the maths was a step up in this level from last year and I may need this for the level 5 and level 6.
I chose this College as it’s local and my company has sent other employees here for training.
I would recommend this College to others. College is better as an adult from my experience as it gives you a few years to build up the experience and then come to College. It’s worked pretty well for me; construction is very lucrative and I would say if you are good enough you will go far.
