Course Overview
To be an apprentice you need to be in employment for a minimum of 30 hours a week and be able to attend college one day a week. An Advanced Architectural Joiner will normally be employed in a workshop, producing complex building components by setting out, marking out and manufacturing bespoke architectural products, including doors, windows, staircases with turns and panelling/cladding.
You will make complex and non-standard architectural joinery products including doors, windows, units and fitments, panelling/cladding, staircases (straight and with turns) and veneers. By the end of your apprenticeship, you will understand how to form and proportion advanced wood joints, such as subbed rebate joints, stub mortice and tenon joints and bridle joints. You will also be able to mark out complex doors, opening windows, units and fitments and staircases.
On your apprenticeship, you will learn how to use advanced trade skills to carry out complex architectural joinery work to a high standard and to demanding tolerances. Some of the skills you develop include how to set out complex work tasks for non-standard architectural joinery products, including complex door sets, doors, windows, units and fitments, staircases (straight and with turns) and products with single/double curvature features.
All apprentices develop an understanding of the key aspects of health, safety and welfare good practice and how to apply these to create a safe and healthy working environment. You will also understand your broader responsibilities under current legislation and guidance in undertaking construction work. You will learn how to maintain and store marking and testing tools, hand and power tools and associated equipment required for advanced work.
