Multi-trade courses

Having skills across several construction trades can open the door to a wide variety of career opportunities. Multi-trade training is ideal for people who enjoy practical work, want to develop a broad range of abilities and take pride in completing different types of projects.

At Century Training Academy, you can develop practical skills in areas including bricklaying, artexing, carpentry and joinery, plastering and property maintenance. Our experienced trainers will support you throughout the course, helping you build your skills and confidence at a pace that suits your individual needs.

Our course options

Our Multi-Trade programme at Century Training Academy gives learners the opportunity to develop practical skills across a range of different trades rather than focusing on just one area.

Learners can gain hands-on experience in areas such as:

• Bricklaying
• Carpentry
• Plumbing
• Plastering
• Wall & Floor Tiling
• Painting & Decorating

The course is mainly practical and workshop-based, helping learners build confidence, discover which trades they enjoy most and develop a broad range of useful skills.

Multi-Trade is a great option for learners who want to explore different construction and maintenance skills before deciding which area they may want to progress into.

What will you learn?

Our multi-trade courses introduce you to a variety of construction skills and working practices. The precise content will depend on your chosen course and qualification, but your training could include:

• Basic bricklaying and masonry techniques
• Plastering and surface preparation
• Carpentry and joinery skills
• Artexing and decorative finishes
• Tiling
• Property maintenance and repair tasks
• The correct use of construction tools and equipment
• Measuring, marking and preparing materials
• Health, safety and welfare in construction
• Working accurately to achieve a professional finish
• Identifying and resolving common practical problems

Nationally recognised qualifications

Our team tailors learning to the individual, making sure you build confidence and have the best possible chance of success. You can learn at a pace that suits your needs and abilities. It does not matter whether it takes you six months or two years—we will be here to support you.

Our multi-trade courses can lead to nationally recognised qualifications. We are fully accredited by awarding bodies including the National Open College Network and Gateway Qualifications.

We offer several qualification options based on your age, abilities and chosen area of study. We will only put you forward for a qualification when we believe you are ready and have the best chance of passing.

1. Award
   An Award is usually the smallest qualification route. It allows learners to focus on specific skills or units within their chosen trade area. This can be a good starting point for learners who are new to the subject, building confidence or working towards further progression.
2. Certificate 
   

   A Certificate is a more detailed qualification than an Award. It allows learners to develop a wider range of practical skills and knowledge within their chosen trade area. This route may be suitable for learners who are ready to complete a more structured programme and show progress across several areas of learning.

    

3. Diploma
    
    A Diploma is the largest qualification route. It gives learners the opportunity to build a broader understanding of their chosen trade area and develop a wider range of practical skills. This route may be suitable for learners who are ready for a more in-depth programme and are working towards further training, employment pathways or progression into a specialist area.
