People with electrical installation, gas installation or plumbing skills will be in demand to provide important services such as electrical networks or central heating systems. Without these skills, our homes, workplaces and public buildings would not be warm and comfortable or safe. At Stoke on Trent College there are lots of chances to develop your career within a business, or on the other hand many people decide to start their own business instead. Importantly, our John Seddon Building Technology Centre offers industry standard training and is amongst the best of its type in the UK. Meanwhile, our two ‘Nu Build’ off-site manufactured houses form a regional centre of excellence for eco-friendly practices, and are the only buildings of their type available for training in the UK. You can be sure of great support throughout your course, and excellent links with local and national employers to help you find the right job.
