The University Central Admissions Service have reported that all 345 construction-related courses in the UK had vacancies at the commencement of the new academic year in September. At the same time last year half the courses had been filled. While some of the problem is due to the poor image of the industry's professions, the situation is not helped by the industry's professional bodies setting unrealistic entry qualifications for courses.
