Course Description

Teacher in Charge: Drew McWhinnie.


In Level 2 Construction we will gain experience in planning projects, managing materials and using a range of hand and power tools. 

We will work on joinery and furniture projects and will complete work booklets to support the practical knowledge.

This will lead you onto either Level 3 Construction or the Building and Construction Industry such as apprenticeships in the trades.

Students should have at least 14 credits in either Level 1 Engineering, Level 1 Product Design or Level 1 Construction, OR successfully complete an interview with the Head of Department of Technology to determine the suitability of the course for your desired career pathway.
