George

Studying Brickwork Level 1

I wanted to be a Bricklayer because there are a lot of jobs available and the pay is good. I like that most of the course is practical. The construction facilities at Brunel are great.

Studying Level 2 Apprenticeship in Plumbing

I’m most proud of gaining an Apprenticeship and doing well in my practical and theory classes. I’ve learnt how to fit and install bathrooms and maintain central heating systems. The apprenticeship provides a lot of variety and you learn a lot through a mixture of theory and practical.
