Able Skills can offer you the opportunity to obtain a City & Guilds Diploma (6219-07) covering 3 construction subjects, enabling you to become a City & Guilds qualified Multi Skilled tradesman. This qualification will confirm competence in each of the chosen subjects and successful candidates will receive a City & Guilds Diploma certificate and will also have a completed portfolio to demonstrate to potential employers their capability in the tasks undertaken. To achieve the full Diploma, candidates must successfully complete all units from three of the following occupations.
You will be able to choose 3 subjects from
Plumbing
Bricklaying
Plastering
Tiling
Carpentry
Painting & Decorating
You will work through a portfolio covering the required units in each of your chosen subjects and you will receive training and assessment on those units. Each centre is fully equipped with all of the tools and materials you will need to complete this award as well as access to reference books to aid you with any written portfolio requirements. With the current facilities we have available to us, we can comfortably cater for all of the above construction trades and more. Whether your interest is in Bricklaying, Carpentry, Plastering, Tiling, Plumbing or Painting & Decorating, our facilities will exceed your expectations.
Each of the above listed are subject to C&G assessment processes and are then allocated credits. We have structured this training programme to cover the most commonly required skills so that successful completion of any 3 subjects from the 6 listed will provide in excess of 37 credits which equate to the award of a City & Guilds Diploma. This in itself could prove to be your passport into employment or self-employment as a Multi-skilled trades person.
As these courses are entirely hands on, you can gain a great insight into what each core subject entails and at a later stage you could consider specialising in a particular area. We will ensure that we exceed the requirements of the qualification to ensure that you are given the opportunity to undertake a broad range of practical activities.
Whichever 3 subjects you choose, you can be guaranteed that the emphasis is placed on practical experience and so these courses are entirely hands on; It is therefore recommended you bring suitable clothing and for your own safety, steel capped footwear is essential. All tools and materials will be provided throughout your training period. Due to the facilities and staff available at Able Skills, we are able to offer flexibility with this award. We do not require you to attend for a consecutive period of 6 weeks but we do require that each subject is covered in blocks of 2 weeks or appropriately planned weekends. This is to ensure consistency and will enhance the learning process.
