About Provider
We are a Merseyside based training provider, specialising in Construction training for young learners between the ages of 13-19.
At Cornerstone, we are passionate about helping young people develop and achieve recognised qualifications, whilst progressing their career goals. To achieve this, we have carefully selected a range of qualifications that the Construction industry recognise and have designed courses to be both challenging and rewarding.
Over the years, this approach has proven to be successful, it enables students to achieve, grow in confidence and prepare for the next steps in their chosen career.
School Respite
At Cornerstone, we recognise that situations can arise through a variety of circumstances that may require a short term intervention to allow a period of time to pass before a student returns to a full timetable. This allows a young person/pupil to have a break from their normal education setting and reflect on past experience whilst trying an alternative to their normal education format and setting.
We at Cornerstone Vocational Training (CVT) can provide full time opportunities for the individuals in question. A respite opportunity can be flexible to suit the needs of the individual, however, can not exceed 12 weeks. Our aim is to integrate any student taking part, back into their normal education setting or alternative education.

Progress has been made with some of the most difficult to engage pupils from the local boroughs for almost 15 years. The setting has a holistic approach to the vulnerable young people which matches our ethos and as a result safeguarding and care for the young people is excellent.

Cornerstone has helped me gain confidence, learn new skills and achieve a L1 Diploma in Construction. I then went on a placement which became an apprenticeship! I'd like to thank all of the tutors at Cornerstone.
