Open Events

The best way to find out about the LCB experience is to come to one of our Open Events.

See for yourself

Nothing beats the experience of actually being here and seeing our industry leading facilities for yourself.

We hold two Open Events in Autumn and another in Spring every year. To book please check out the upcoming events section and click on a link.

Open Events are a great opportunity to see if the college and your preferred course is right for you. You can speak to students, tutors and support staff to understand what the course includes and where it can lead too.

Not only that, our facilities are some of the best in the country for construction education. You can tour our workshops and get a feel for life at LCB.

If you’re struggling to make an event, you can check out our virtual tour.

Being a city centre college, we recommend public transport wherever possible. Both campuses are located less than 20 minute walk from both Leeds train station and the Leeds bus station.

We understand that public transport isn’t always possible. If you’re arriving by car, there is on-street, pay and display car parking near both of our campuses.

Using a Sat Nav? no problem. For North street use postcode LS2 7QT and for South Bank it’s LS10 1HD

What our Students Think

Find out what our students have to say about their time at LCB

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.”
