The construction industry plays a key role in Lancashire’s economy and remains a priority sector. With a £2 billion government boost to the Affordable Homes Programme, demand for house building skills is set to rise — but a major skills shortage within the sector poses a challenge. The Construction Industry Training Board (CITB) estimates over 250,000 additional workers will be required by 2028 to meet demand. At Preston College, we offer courses for both aspiring and current construction professionals. Whether you’re looking to enhance DIY skills, learn a new trade alongside full-time employment, or pursue a career change, our Level 1 courses provide the perfect starting point.
If you’re already working in the sector, we offer Level 2, Diplomas, Green Skills courses, and NVQs from Level 2 to Level 7. We also offer HNCs, and Institute of Technology (IoT) courses designed to take your skills to the next level. Preston College’s hybrid learning approach combines weekly practical sessions held in college, with online guided self-study, allowing you to fit your studies around existing work and family commitments. All our programmes are continually updated to align with industry-standards, ensuring you are well-prepared to contribute to the sector’s growth and success.
