This strategy encourages all employees at the company to pool their collective talents and make proactive improvements to BAM’s training processes. BAM’s instructors firmly believe it’s important to get to know their prospective learners and develop a strong understanding of their background, experience and capabilities in order to tailor each course to the needs of the individual. Translators are available to navigate any potential language barriers and learners who prefer to work on an individual basis are able to request one-to-one support.

It’s also developing a video feedback system for students to review their progress. The UK’s construction industry is at a critical juncture.
