This course is for S3 to S5 students keen to study the construction trade. The L4 Foundation Apprenticeship is designed for all types of learners across a range of abilities. It offers learners a route to working directly with an employer via a project-based learning experience and enables them to develop both technical and meta-skills via a work-based project.

The project is co-designed and agreed by our partner employer and they make a structured and regular contribution to the programme. Learners develop technical and meta-skills based on work situations within the project and an understanding of the construction industry.
