The course was delivered in a friendly and low-stress way allowing me to gain the skills comfortably. The instructors are friendly, knowledgeable and go the extra mile. The support from Building Heroes is excellent and targeted to the specific needs of the individual. I recommend this course as a way into construction or to build on existing skills."

"The course was a fantastic experience and delivered in a very professional manner. We were shown what was required and left to do the work with our tutor offering help throughout each evolution."

"I recommend this course to any of my fellow service members because it is run professionally, and you are treated with respect by the staff and instructors where ever you are in the college, and it is a very informative course."

"It is excellent value for money, especially if you compare it to others that are shorter and cost a lot more, and we are provided with a kit to wear and all the PPE we need to carry out each task."

"I had zero experience going onto the course, so it was a great learning environment to try to learn new skills at my own pace. It gave me an insight into trades I liked and ones that I didn't like as much. The instructors on the course were very knowledgeable and professional. I recommend the course to everyone wanting to enter the construction industry as it is a great stepping stone for anyone who wants to learn new skills for their interest. Overall, The system is excellent value for money, and I recommend it."
