Assessments
Assessment will take place both during and at the end of the apprenticeship, with completion being dependent on successful achievement of the qualification elements and the endorsement of the employer after a professional discussion, with the apprentice and training provider.
Entry Requirements
All entrants must hold four GCSEs at grade 2 or equivalent (or above), including GCSE Maths or English at grade 4.
Every employer is different and therefore the entry requirements can vary. As a guide, you will need GCSE grade 4 in English and Maths. However, we will work with you and provide additional support to help you achieve their requirements, either prior to your apprenticeship or during the delivery of your programme. An interest in the industry is essential. You will need to complete the Level 2 Site Carpentry Apprenticeship before progressing to the Level 3 Advanced Site Carpentry Apprenticeship.
Progression
After the Level 2 programme, you may choose to progress to the Level 3 Advanced Site Carpentry Apprenticeship. This could lead you to full-time work, university level study, or on to a role as a site supervisor.
Facilities and resources
As an apprentice, you will have full access to the college facilities.
FAQs
Q:. Does the college find me an employer?
A: No, you are responsible for finding your own work placement. We can help by following up on leads you may have and discussing apprenticeship requirements with a prospective employer, as well as checking them for suitability.
