Course Summary
This carpentry and joinery apprenticeship gives you the opportunity to learn carpentry skills, earn a wage, and gain valuable work experience in the industry. You will be employed by a carpenter or building contractor and work alongside an experienced tradesperson to develop and practise your skills.
You will attend College for one day per week to learn the theoretical side of your trade. You will learn about first and second fixing operations and erecting structural carcasses (site carpentry). We will also work with you to develop your English and maths skills to the level that most employers in the construction industry are looking for.
Entry requirements
Applicants should have:
> Employment within the sector with a contract of employment for at least 30 hours per week
> 5 GCSEs including Maths and English at minimum grade D or 3 and above (Candidates who completed study overseas and are now working in the UK may also be eligible. Please contact us to discuss your application.)
> Satisfactory completion of the college initial assessment
Plus

Your next steps...
You could choose to increase your skills with a Carpentry and Joinery Advanced Apprenticeship at level 3.
