Construction

Level 3 Carpentry and Joinery Apprenticeship Standard

The occupation involves carrying out advanced skilled work, primarily using timber products, either on a construction site, or in a workshop, creating and installing building components. The advanced carpenter and joiner is able to undertake complex job tasks, requiring high levels of practical skills and knowledge, in addition to managing their own work and leading small teams. The main differences between a level 2 site carpenter / architectural joiner, and a level 3 advanced site carpenter / architectural joiner are that the advanced carpenter / joiner has responsibility for managing their own and other people’s work, as well as being required to complete complex and nonstandard work. Examples of complex tasks include curved products, irregular joints and bespoke work.

The knowledge, skills and behaviours for this role will be developed over the duration of the apprenticeship.
Maths and English will be embedded within the apprenticeship.

Level 2 Plumbing

Student Voice

I’m more of a hands-on learner and my course involved a lot of practical work, which was good. The tutors in Plumbing are great and really helpful. It was an opportunity presented by North Lindsey that allowed me to apply for my apprenticeship, so my course definitely helped me with my progression. I learnt a lot of skills needed to be successful in industry.
