Construction
The North West's vibrant construction sector offers exciting openings for anyone interest in areas such as architecture, building control, building services engineering, construction management, quantity surveying and historic buildings conservation, whilst a construction course at B&FC provides a firm foundation on which to build a successful career in the industry.
Construction courses
B&FC’s wide range of construction programmes is underpinned by excellent employer relationships, which support programme design and delivery through industry placements and the opportunity to work on local large-scale infrastructure projects.
Construction students also gain valuable experience working on community and charitable projects. Recently they created a replica of the Changi Gate at the Fylde Arboretum in Bispham and worked on Blackpool Carers’ Centre for the BBC’s DIY SOS Big Build programme.
