Average Annual Construction Salaries Revealed!
Here at Able Skills, we offer a variety of diffrent construction courses that upon completion can land you with a job in the industry if successful. We take pride in our training and we know that we provide top-quality teaching, advice and can act as a springboard into a career! The construction industry is currently struggling to fill positions across the board from Tilers to Bricklayers, the industry needs you! The skills gap is preventing the smooth expansion and development of the industry in a time where construction of commercial, residential building and infrastructure are all on the rise.
So...Here is how to get involved:
Firstly, decide what trade it is that you are interested in, we cover the main skills and have individual units at our facility that teach each specific trade. Here is a list of the construction trades that we teach:
- Plastering Courses
- Carpentry Courses
- Bricklaying Courses
- Tiling Courses
- Decorating Courses
- And a range of Multi-Skills Courses
Within each of these trades, there are diffrent courses for diffrent skills levels. The course that you choose will depend on your skill level, for example, if you are looking to take Bricklaying and you have no previous experience then you should maybe consider firstly enrolling on an Introduction to Bricklaying course before taking on a more full-time course such as a City & Guilds Bricklaying course or an NVQ Level 2 Bricklaying course...
We also run some technical trades such as Plumbing, Electrics and Gas and we have the national average on Plumbing and Electricians to look at as well, however, these courses work in a diffrent way to construction trades in terms of courses. For example, if you would like to work your way towards becoming an Electrician there are a bunch of short courses that you will need to undertake so for convenience we put all the necessary courses into packages. Our Gold Card Approved Electricians package, for example, is a massive saving when you book this package of electrical training. Almost everything that is available at Able Skills from an electrical point of view has been put into this package which exceeds the requirements of a JIB Gold Card. We do also run an Introduction to Basic Domestic Electrics similar to that of construction trades.
