Building Heroes: Supporting the Salute

 Building Heroes is a leading military charity, joining forces with education, the Armed Forces and construction to shape and grow the industry with a pipeline of valuable, work ready personnel from the military community.

We will continue to offer our Multi Trades Qualifications at our London, Wales, Basingstoke, Colchester, Salisbury and Plymouth Academies.

​Additionally, we will be offering a brand-new qualifications Level 3 in Retrofit Assessor/Energy Domestic Assessor. These combined qualifications will run for 5 weeks. This level 3 qualification will ensure straight employment routes and we have plenty of opportunities available. (see attached flyers)

The location for Retrofit will be in Barnet but a couple of the cohorts may be in Enfield. This is all to be confirmed but for now encourage your service leavers to get onto the Waitlist so not to miss out!

For further information on how to collaborate with Building Heroes, please click on flyers here and here.
