Architectural Joinery Apprenticeship

An Architectural Joiner will produce building components by setting out, marking out and manufacturing basic architectural products, including doors, windows, straight staircases and associated ironmongery.

Apprentices will need to be working towards and achieve the following job role requirements before their End Point Assessment (EPA):

• Produce setting out details for the manufacture of doors, windows and opening lights, units and stairs
• Mark out timber from setting out details for the manufacture of doors, windows and opening lights, units and/or fitments and staircases
• Create, fit and assemble components to manufacture doors, windows with opening lights, units and/or fitments and staircases
• Operate fixed workshop machinery in order to create joinery components

This Apprenticeship is ideal if you want a practical career in the building trade and enjoy the idea of working with wood to create a product.

Next steps: After the Level 2 programme, you may choose to progress to the Level 3 Site Carpentry/Joinery Apprenticeship. This could lead you to full time work, university level study, or on to a role as a site supervisor.

Every employer is different and therefore the entry requirements can vary. As a guide, you ideally need GCSE grade 4 in English and Maths. However, we will work with you and provide additional support to help you achieve their requirements, either prior to your Apprenticeship or during the delivery of your programme. An interest in the industry is essential. You will need to complete the Level 2 Architectural Joinery Apprenticeship before progressing to the Level 3 Site Carpentry/Joinery Apprenticeship.

You will study at our Construction Centre, with access to:

• Trade specific classroom
• Fully equipped wood machine shop
• Practical bench and site workshops
• Learning Resource Centre (LRC)
• Refectory

You will need safety boots, overalls and recommended text books.
