Diplomas

Diplomas

Our Construction Diplomas at Peterborough College provide in-depth theoretical and practical knowledge, setting the foundation for various career paths within the industry.

Both the theory and the practical elements are really well-balanced, and I’ve enjoyed every part of the learning process. As a female carpenter i felt very supported and if anything, it made me more determined. More women should get into this industry!
