The North-West Construction & Technology Excellence College (CTEC) at Wigan & Leigh College provides high quality training for careers in construction. It was created in response to the need for around 40,000 new workers to fill construction jobs across the UK.

Construction is a modern industry with a wide range of opportunities, bringing together technology, creativity and practical skills, including digital design, 3D modelling and more sustainable methods of building.

CTEC courses are developed with employers, so you gain the skills companies are actively looking for. Real experience and knowledge that employers value are what you will build, helping you stand out when you apply for apprenticeships or jobs.
