LEVEL 3 TRADITIONAL BUILDING CRAFT APPRENTICESHIPS
MASONRY AND WOOD OCCUPATIONS

COURSES COMMENCE MARCH AND JUNE 2013

What’s on offer:
Students who have already achieved a level 2 craft or equivalent in contemporary craft studies, or have 5 years’ experience in an approved occupation, can now enroll on a two year level 3 advanced apprenticeship covering traditional, historic, vernacular and contemporary building crafts.

What’s covered:
Within the qualification great effort is put into embracing the fundamentals of construction, covering technology, materials science, craft skills, along with underpinning knowledge of tools and techniques, which will enhance the students ability to work in both historic (pre-1919) and contemporary building environments.

The company are seeking to prepare new craftspeople to fill the growing skills gaps in the built heritage and maintenance workforce. This is beginning to bite severely in respect of the conservation and restoration of our historic building stock.

If you already have an apprentice who could benefit from this programme, or could offer a placement for an apprentice on this course, please get in touch to discuss the apprenticeship in more detail.
