“Before doing this course I was unemployed and prior to that I was working in a warehouse. I have always wanted to work in construction and to have experience on my CV, but until now I have never had the time or the funds to get the qualifications. From doing this course I now have my CSCS card, which is crucial in the construction industry and will open up a lot of opportunities for me. I really can’t wait to get back into work. The course has given me the opportunity to be financially stable and to support my family, which is such an important thing for me.
“For anyone thinking of doing this course, I would tell them to do it. It’s been such a great experience and it’s not often an opportunity like this comes up, so take it. The course gives you all the experience and correct training to pass and the tutors are helpful and their support is amazing.
“I came here with no confidence, but am leaving with loads. Whatever your age, take the opportunity, believe in yourself and you will achieve it.”
