Any advice for someone thinking of choosing the same course as you?
If it’s something that you are considering, then I would definitely say to give it a go. Keep up with course work as it can be difficult to catch up but it is a very enjoyable course that teaches you new skills. It also allows you to meet others within the construction industry and find out more about their roles.
