Central Building and Welding Academy

I attended the 5 day Mig intro and the 5 day Tig intro. Both Chris and Pete were fantastic! Clearly explained every step and with decades of experience between them knew exactly where I needed improvement with a quick look. Within a few days I had changed to the Mig city and guilds level 2 course, and passed. This is down purely to the time and effort Chris and Pete take with attendees. They work people and their individual styles of learning. Would definitely recommend to anyone thinking about learning a new skill the CBWA offer! The entire team are great!

Just completed the 5 day Intensive Plumbing Course and it was spot on. Instructor Lee was a wealth of knowledge from several decades in the trade and went all out to pass on as much knowledge as possible in the time we were with him. From simple tap washer change, soldering, fittings and radiator systems and everything in-between. Learning trade work arounds for problems that would otherwise stump me will be invaluable. Nothing was too much trouble for Lee and I would have no problem recommending this course and at the price you're onto a winner.

I attended the intensive plumbing course (5 Days) with Lee. All aspects were explained and demonstrated with plenty of opportunity to ask questions and perform any practical job tailored to individual needs. This was in addition to the installation and testing of a full bathroom suite and radiators I now know how taps work and how to repair or replace fittings, the inner workings of toilets and central heating were also covered in detail.. This course is a MUST for anyone wanting to gain knowledge and confidence to perform work on plumbing projects. This course will provide every bit of knowledge needed for most jobs. Lee has a great teaching style and is very relaxed and clearly has enormous amounts of experience which enables him to explain how things work and what to look out for in the real world. An incredible few days which have equipped me with lots of new skills. Thank you Lee for a great week, and the other members of the CBWA who made us feel welcome.

I attended this college about 10 years ago and it completely changed my life. I trained as a bricklayer which was the beginning of a complete overhaul in career. I was then taken on by Leicester Council and taken on to train in multi trades. Long story short I am now a Building Surveyor. And I am loving it. Great training center
