Free Government Funded Skills Bootcamps in Drylining

Skills Bootcamps are part of the Government’s Lifetime Skills Guarantee, giving people the opportunity to build up sector-specific skills and fast-track to an interview with an employer.

Working with the Department of Education (DfE) and Greater London Authority (GLA), we at Construction Helpline provide Skills Bootcamps to both Unemployed & Self-Employed learners in Commercial Drylining.

These courses are fully funded and are free for all our learners within the Greater London area.

Working with DfE, this Bootcamp will introduce learners to the practical skills and the underpinning knowledge required to fast track you to completing your NVQ faster than you would have done without it. The program includes everything you need to get on site including registration onto an NVQ Level 2.

What is included?
  • Level 1 H&S in a construction environment course prep and assessment (including re-sit)
  • CITB Test
  • CSCS Card x 2 prior to completion of NVQ and on completion of NVQ Level 2
  • Registration onto one of the following NOCN NVQS:
    • NVQ Level 2 Fixer
    • NVQ Level 2 Finishing
    • NVQ Level 2 Boarder
  • Explanation of how to interpret pertinent knowledge sections within the NVQs
  • Practical demos on installing Drylining Systems under the guidance of a drylining tutor
  • Min. 2 onsite visits and assessments within a workplace environment
  • Remote support for the completion of your NVQ within the workplace environment
  • Employment coach support during bootcamp, during work trial, prior to employer interview and dependant on outcome following employer interview for drylining contract.
Who is eligible?

For our unemployed pathway, you must be currently unemployed or without work and happy to commit to a 8 week program fulltime program and be able to attend a fulltime bootcamp Monday to Friday for 6 weeks, as well as an Employer Work Trial for 2 weeks within the London area (8 WEEKS COMMITMENT PRIOR TO INTERVIEW).

Please note the NVQ can only be completed once working as it is a vocational assessment (needs to be assessed in a workplace environment therefore completion will be once placed on a drylining contract outside of the 6 week bootcamp).

Working with GLA, the self-employed pathway allows you more flexibility to train during evenings and weekends and the knowledge / theory part of the bootcamps will be delivered remotely allowing you to login via video conferencing software like zoom or Microsoft teams to a live tutor from home and attendance at 4* weekend practical bootcamps.

What is included?
  • Level 1 H&S in a construction environment course prep and assessment (including re-sit)

Who is eligible?

For our self-employed pathway, it is essential that you are currently working in a self-employed capacity within construction as a Level 1 general labourer / residential building trade. You may also be in property refurbishment and are looking to upskill into Commercial Drylining as your NVQ will only be completed while you are working (please not this is also open to those already working as self-employed Dryliners).
