Qualifications

There are apprenticeships in almost every different area of the building and construction industry. Which apprenticeship is right for you will depend on your interests, your experience and the opportunities in your area.

Apprenticeships are "competency based". It's all about demonstrating you have the ability (both in terms of knowledge and skill) to complete a task - you are seen to be competent and can work towards becoming qualified. It means that apprenticeships take no more or no less time than it takes for you to show that you can demonstrate your skill.
