Trainees studying Bricklaying, Plumbing and Painting and Decorating at Lewisham Colleges Deptford Construction Campus took part in a qualifying competition in December 2020 for a chance to represent their course and College at the inter-college NCG Annual Skills Competition taking place later this year.

At the event the learners faced tough competition, carrying out skills-based tasks to secure a place in the finals of the inter-college NCG competition. Their work was presented to the judging panel who then selected the two top learners or apprentices for each discipline.

Commenting on winning first place, Bricklaying student, Shaun Paul Wigzell, said: “Taking part in the competition was a great opportunity to experience working under pressure, to a deadline and to test my skills.
