How it works

Training provider information.

As part of this two-year apprenticeship, you will complete a nationally recognised qualification through a local college or approved training provider.

You’ll typically attend college one day per week (day release) or in short blocks throughout the year (block release), depending on the course structure. During this time, you’ll gain the theoretical knowledge and technical skills that complement your on-the-job training.

The college will cover key topics relevant to your role, and you'll be supported with assignments, projects, and exams to ensure you meet the requirements of the apprenticeship standard. Your progress will be monitored both at work and in college to help you succeed in your career.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Assisting with a variety of carpentry and maintenance tasks on occupied and unoccupied properties

• Supporting the team with admin and record-keeping using digital systems
• Gaining skills that set you up for a long-term career in the trade

• Someone who’s reliable, punctual, and eager to learn

• Willing to attend college regularly and complete coursework
