Skills Bootcamp - Onsite Construction

Our Skills Bootcamp in Multi-Skills is a free 12 week, flexible training programme funded by the Mayor of London and the Department for Education (as part of the Skills for Life campaign), designed to help adults gain practical, hands-on experience across a range of construction and property maintenance disciplines.
Delivered in partnership with employers the programme focuses on the essential trade skills that are in high demand across the sector helping you develop the confidence, knowledge, and competence needed to start or progress a career in construction.

Skills Bootcamps are intensive Level 2 to 5 or equivalent flexible training courses, with a guaranteed job interview (in the case of a new job).
