Serving the East of England, the Cambridge Training Hub delivers high-quality bricklaying and groundworking apprenticeships to support a steady pipeline of skilled talent for local house builders and subcontractors. The training hub can train over 100 apprentices annually, using an intensive delivery model with multiple intakes throughout the year.

Developed in partnership with leading house builder The Hill Group, the Cambridge Training Hub is part of our national commitment to tackling the skills shortage and delivering high-quality training aligned with NHBC Standards.

Our training hubs offer

Realistic site experience from day one

Apprentices are immersed in realistic site conditions, working on concrete slabs, building full-scale structures and following real site hours and safety standards. This practical approach builds confidence and contributes to our industry-leading retention rate.

Accelerated, front-loaded training

Our intensive delivery model builds core skills and training upfront, enabling apprentices to return to site ready to contribute. Accelerated learning enables apprentices to complete their qualifications in 14–18 months, nearly twice as fast as traditional routes.

Flexible, focused delivery

With multiple intake dates and smaller cohort sizes, our training hubs offer more one-to-one training and a structured learning environment that adapts to the needs of both apprentices and employers.

Location and facilities

Located on the outskirts of Cambridge, adjacent to Histon Football Club, this purpose-built facility includes: 

  • convenient access to the A14 and M11
  • dedicated classrooms, welfare areas and canteen
  • a large outdoor concrete slab designed for building substantial training structures.
