Construction Management & Civil Engineering courses

Since leaving Oaklands in June 2024, I went on to join Glencar Construction for a 5 year apprenticeship in Construction Management, in the August. The knowledge and skills gained at Oaklands set me up perfectly for a smooth transition into my full time apprenticeship in the construction industry, with only the job role left to learn. Oaklands helped me build my confidence also, by encouraging PowerPoint assignments in front of others, internally and externally, whilst offering me various work experience placements at the same time.
