Zuhair Zafar

Design, Surveying and Planning T level

“The lovely Employability Team at college helped me find my work placement with the Morgan Sindall Group at their site in Woodhouse. The project involved a school extension, and I joined as a placement Quantity Surveyor.”

Parents of Molly Fulton

Quantity Surveyor Apprenticeship

“As a parent, I wanted Molly to have a clear career path, and I wasn’t convinced A-levels would provide that. When we visited Leeds College of Building, it was relaxed, friendly, and career-focused.”

Brandon Perry

Civil Engineering Apprenticeship

“I’m fuelled by responsibility, so this course gave me the autonomy to manage my own projects whilst having the safety net of guidance and support when needed. It’s the perfect blend challenge and mentorship. .”

Rye Kilburn

Full time Plastering Course

“My favourite part of the course is just learning the trade. There’s something really satisfying about seeing the plaster go on the wall and knowing you’re getting closer to where you want to be. Every time I’m working, I feel like I’m moving toward my career goals.”
