service principles, and how to diagnose and resolve common property issues
efficiently. This programme is an excellent opportunity for individuals who are practical,
reliable, and keen to build a career in the property and construction
sector.
With support from experienced professionals at the college,
apprentices will work towards a Level 2 qualification, preparing them for a
