With an Apprenticeship, you can earn money while you’re learning and gain recognised qualifications as you work.
As employees, Apprentices earn a wage and work alongside experienced staff to gain job-specific skills. Off the job, usually on a day-release basis, Apprentices receive training to work towards nationally recognised qualifications. Apprenticeships can take between one and four years to complete depending on the level of Apprenticeship, the Apprentices’ ability and the industry sector.
Aim 1: Deliver Excellence in Teaching & Learning

This one day introductory course is the first in a series of courses that we are developing around ‘external’ and ‘internal’ wall insulation. External wall insulation provides an excellent means of reducing energy consumption in the refurbishment of properties, particularly those with single wall construction, and can provide a fresh clean appearance to tired and outdated exteriors. EWI is achieved by fixing non-load bearing cladding (insulation boards) with either adhesive or mechanical fixings, adding waterproofing in terms of a base coat and then applying a hardwearing decorative finish together with any suitable beads and trims. This introductory course is designed to give a comprehensive overview of the material components required in EWI systems.
