There is currently a national shortage of tradespeople with the appropriate skills to work on traditional solid walled properties. We want to encourage tradespeople and construction professionals to learn new skills so that this skills shortage can be reduced. We understand that the time and cost to attend training can often put trades off, so we offer subsidised training places to those people currently working in construction.

Black and Ethnically Diverse Bursary Programme​​​

 

The UK Heritage Construction Industry does not currently reflect the diverse make up of the country. During 2024/2025 we are using our bursary programme to make a positive change in the industry.

 

This bursary application is specially for Black and ethnically diverse groups who are currently under represented in the construction industry. Whether you are a tradesperson looking to upskill, someone looking to start a career in construction or a homeowner with a project, we want to empower you to pick up a trowel and have a go.

 

If eligible, you will receive a 25% discount on any course taken before the end of May 2025. Please note that we are unable to apply the discount to courses already booked.

​

Applications will close when all of the funding has been allocated.

​

What courses can I apply for?

Your bursary can be used to attend any practical carringtonLIME organised course, subject to places being available. Any additional top up fee will need to be paid prior to the course date.

​

Can I apply for more than one bursary?

You can apply for one bursary place only.

​

Am I guaranteed to get a bursary if I meet the criteria?

We try to say yes to as many people as possible but our bursary pot is limited so it is a first come first served basis. Once the bursary pot is empty, applications will close.  Each application will be assessed so we encourage you to include as much detail as possible in  our application form. Tell us why you would like to attend a course and how you will use your new skill.

​

How do I apply?
