Construction Apprenticeships
Gain qualifications while starting your career.
An apprenticeship is a paid job that combines work with study, allowing you to gain practical experience while earning a recognised qualification.
Through an apprenticeship, you will gain the knowledge, skills and behaviours that you need for your immediate job and future career. Your contracted hours per week will be split between training and working for your employer.
Benefits of a construction apprenticeship
Apprenticeships are an exciting paid option for you to upskill or change career because they offer the chance to earn a wage whilst you work and study. At least 20% of your contracted hours will be spent in training.
There are many other benefits to completing an apprenticeship which include:
- Experience and skills development
- A nationally recognised qualification (with no tuition fees)
- Employee benefits and a wage
- Exposure to industry professionals
- Formal assessment which leads to a nationally recognised qualification
- CIOB professional body membership
At the end of your apprenticeship, you will take an End-Point Assessment (EPA), which is designed to test whether you have gained the Knowledge, Skills and Behaviours (KSBs) outlined in the occupational standard, and grades you according to your performance. This is facilitated by an End-Point Assessment Organisation (EPAO) and is totally independent from the training provider and employer, ensuring there are no conflict of interests, raising standards of assessment.
In 2026, the EPAs will be replaced with Apprenticeship Assessments, which where appropriate can take place throughout the duration of the Apprenticeship. The EPAO will also become known simply as an Assessment Organisation, will continue to shape the assessment and ensure the validity of outcomes.
