Across our Campuses we have invested in creating practical, modern learning spaces for our construction courses. Our teaching spaces are far from traditional classrooms and replicate domestic and commercial set-ups. In all our training centres you will have access to the full range of tools and materials you need to learn your trade. Throughout your course you will be supported by our expert tutors who all have an abundance of practical experience in industry and know how to get the best out of their students.
Whether you are looking to develop your DIY skills or improve your professional qualifications, we can help. We have courses to help you learn the basics and confidently tackle more projects around the house or gain a new certificate.
We are constantly looking for ways to offer the most to our students and we are passionate about ensuring our training best prepares you for what you want to do next.
All our training facilities have state-of-the-art equipment and we have recently made large developments to stay on top of emerging renewable technologies, including our new Renewable Technology Suite.
Alongside our course offerings teaching traditional plumbing, gas engineering, carpentry, and property maintenance; through Abingdon & Witney College you can now learn to install and maintain new and emerging green technology.
