This intensive 4 month part-time course starts by exploring the principles of building construction and traditional building physics. We take a whole-house approach and look at how changes to one aspect of construction can effect another. Students also receive lessons in marketing skills, legal understanding, business set up, finance and get to completion a live job. Students will leave the programme with the real life practical experience, confidence and business skills to start working in the heritage industry.
