Free media and construction training is available for west Londoners looking to boost their job prospects.

The Refresh Skills Centre in Slough has opened its doors to west London residents.

People can take a City & Guilds level 1 certificate in construction, bricklaying, plumbing and plastering, and a 'bespoke' media course delivered by industry professionals

The courses include a mix of formal classroom education and practical work, and students will also get help to find work.

The centre in Bath Road is funded by the Sikh group PMKC, with support from Slough Council and companies including B&Q, Netgear and Mars.
