Helen Tapper of Tapper Interiors says

“We have sent apprentices to Bircham Newton for training in previous years and been very happy with the results, these apprentices are still with us and continue to contribute at a high standard to the work of Tapper Interiors.  We have two places booked on these courses and recommend the National Construction College as an apprenticeship training provider.”
