Further Study
There are excellent progression routes from this Level 1 course on to L2 Traineeships to employment on the L2 Apprenticeship programme completing trade at Level 3 should all relevant entry criteria be gained.Career Prospects
The skills gained in basic construction maintenance can provide a pathway into various trade areas allowing for the potential to achieve qualifications in that pathway and the wage structure linked to it. Across the North West and wider area many companies specialise in construction maintenance and successful completion of this qualification may provide a avenue to F/T employment with the businesses. Painters have excellent opportunities to become self-employed and start their own businesses. Once Level 3 Apprenticeship has been completed painters can progressed to HE courses to further develop their careers in the construction industry with job opportunities as site manager, project managers, H&S officers and teaching.Enquiry

The recording facilities at NWRC are second to none. I use my free studio time to demo and record new songs. You wouldn't get this anywhere else at such a professional level.Hannah Richardson (Music) -
I studied the OCN Level 2 Award in Bakery & Patisserie. My course was delivered in the College's kitchens. There was a sense of community and a warm relaxing atmosphere throughout. If I was to describe my experience in 3 words it would be fun, exciting and therapeutic!Stephen McAteer (Limavady)
