Course Overview

To be an apprentice you need to be employed for a minimum of 30 hours a week and attend college one day a week. The apprenticeship involves carrying out skilled work, primarily using timber products, either on a construction site, or in a workshop, creating and installing building components.
On your apprenticeship, you will learn how to install door and window frames, door and hatch linings and straight staircases. You will also learn how to repair or replace frames, mouldings, doors, windows, and door and window ironmongery. You will also be taught about inclined roofs with gables, joists, roof coverings and roof components. You will be taught how to use, maintain and store hand tools, power tools and associated equipment.
A Site Carpenter will normally work on a building site, or in domestic and commercial premises, preparing and fixing building components, from the initial erection of a new building, through to the installation of all necessary fixtures and fittings, as well as a range of repair and maintenance activities.
You will be taught about the importance of working safely and to be aware of key health, safety and welfare issues. By the end of your apprenticeship, you will be expected to be able to plan and carry out work to a commercial standard including using drawings and specifications to complete your work and understand how to select the required materials to carry out the work including timber, tools and fixings.
