Sustainable Construction Technology
This one year full-time programme will introduce students to the world of Construction. The programme examines construction materials and safe methodologies, with emphasis on sustainable energy efficient dwellings and green technologies. Students will also attend our purpose built engineering training workshop for one full day weekly. Here you will use and learn how to operate different engineering machines including a CNC Lathe and a Laser Cutter. Students may also progress to apprenticeships within the construction industry.
