Craft apprenticeships are available in:

Brickwork -

Most people are aware of the Bricklayer's role in the Construction Industry, but they will not appreciate all the different types of materials that Bricklayers use or the different effects they can create. Bricklayers need to understand how to make the best of their materials and how to achieve particular performance requirements. As a Bricklayer, you will work outdoors and must not mind working at heights. You should also be physically fit - able to lift weights and climb ladders, and be prepared to move from site to site. You have to be careful, accurate and be able to follow detailed instructions from architects and others.

Electrical Installation -

Electricians are working with electricity and need to fully understand how it works and how to fit electrical installations safely and reliably. You will be working on sites as part of a team and be able to plan and schedule your work to fit in with other trades working around you.

Painting and Decorating -

Painting and decorating extends far beyond house-painting and may involve work on oil rigs or bridges, the gilding of ornamental plaster in stately homes, or the application of specialist finishes and decorative effects. Work may be indoors or mostly outdoors, depending on the area you wish to specialise in. You will move from site to site and will learn how to deal with all the different materials and surfaces you may encounter.

Plumbing -

Plumbers do more than the repair and maintenance work we need in our homes. They also install water, heating and gas systems in new buildings and fix rainwater guttering and sheet metal waterproofing on roofs. Plumbers cut, bend, join, weld and fix pipes and sheets made from metals and plastics. Most plumbing work is done inside, whilst, other work, such as lead roofing and guttering is undertaken outside.

Site Carpentry -

In the Construction Industry, Site Carpenters fit most of the wooden parts of buildings including floor joists, floor boards, roof timbers, cupboards, windows and doors. You will be working with specialised tools and need to work accurately and carefully. You will be part of a team working on site and need to be able to work at heights.
What Subjects will I study?

Both the Construction Diploma and NVQ courses involves the study of theoretical knowledge and the development of practical skills that enable you to perform to industrial standards in a specific craft occupation.

Students with GCSE grades of E or lower in English/Maths will undertake Functional Skill lessons as part of their apprenticeship. Students that have a GCSE grade D in English/Maths will be expected to re-sit the relevant subject.
