Overview

A Joiner will use timber products to create joinery items for a carpenter to install, while being responsible for managing their own work. You will normally work in a joinery workshop.

A Joiner will study:

  • Setting out joinery items
  • Marking out joinery items
  • Manufacture joinery items
  • A range of woodworking machines

To achieve a Level 2 you must complete:

  • End Point Assessment
  • If required: Functional Skills (English, Maths)
  • Portfolio of evidence

Next steps: Some Apprentices go into employment OR progress onto a Level 3 Site Carpentry/Joinery Apprenticeship.

Entry Requirements

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 Advanced Architectural Joinery Apprenticeship.
