Site Carpentry Level 3 Apprenticeship

This course is designed for learners who are progressing from the Level 2 course in Site Carpentry and who have a keen interest to start a career within the field of carpentry.

This apprenticeship will allow you to advance your skills and prepare you for the workplace. When undertaking an apprenticeship, you will study a mixture of both work-based learning and training at College.

You will also undertake an endpoint assessment (EPA) to complete your competency in Site Carpentry. Your employer will pay the minimum apprenticeship wage while you are learning your trade.

To join this course, you must have at least 5 GCSEs at Grade 3 or above including English Language and Maths, or to have completed an alternative full Level 2 course with Level 1 Functional Skills. You must be employed or to have an offer of employment with an appropriate employer.

You must also have a strong commitment to working with your employer and College assessor and an excellent record of attendance at school or college.

You must also demonstrate a high degree of enthusiasm and a guarantee to succeed and prepare effectively for employment.

You will be assessed in a number of different ways and will receive regular feedback to help you grow and develop.

Some of the ways in which we will measure your success and competence will be: attendance and punctuality, professional knowledge, skills and behaviours, academic and workplace reviews, online and practical assessments.

On successful completion of the course you could obtain employment in the carpentry industry. You could also progress onto a site management course.

As a City of Bristol College apprentice, you may incur additional costs on your apprenticeship. For example, it is likely you may need to pay for travel and stationery, and for some apprenticeships you may need to purchase specialist equipment.
