Construction Training Directory
We have been busy working on the
‘Construction Training Directory’ which
provides information on courses in construction
and the built environment in Greater Exeter,
connecting directly to training providers.
The aim of the resource is to make it as easy
as possible for employers to find apprentices/
trainees or courses to upskill their workforce,
and of course for individuals looking for
courses in the local area.
The directory is a result of our involvement
with the Greater Exeter Construction Working
