Introduction
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 are 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 non-standard work.
Examples of complex tasks include curved products, irregular joints and bespoke
work. This is a core and options apprenticeship, with two pathways: Pathway 1:
An Advanced Site Carpenter will normally work on a building site, or in domestic
and commercial premises, preparing and installing complex and often bespoke
building components e.g. high-quality doors, shaped linings, staircases with
turns, complex wall and floor units, erecting bespoke structural carpentry
(inclined roofs and joists) and erecting complex roof structures (e.g. inclined
roofs with hips, valleys and dormers). Pathway 2: An Advanced Architectural
Joiner will normally be employed in a workshop, producing complex building
components by setting out, marking out and manufacturing bespoke architectural
products (e.g. doors, windows, staircases with turns and panelling/ cladding.
Off the Job Training Off the job training must make up at least 20% of
the apprentice’s contracted hours, over the total duration of the apprentice’s
planned training period. Off the job training can be delivered in the
apprentice’s normal workplace or at College. As an apprentice you will be
recording off the job training both at work and at college. The new learning
must be documented and reflected on through the Learner Journal on their
e-portfolio.

Entry Requirements
GCSE Grade 4 in English & Maths plus a Level 2 Joinery Apprenticeship Standard or NVQ Qualification.
The employer must also meet specific criteria to ensure the Apprentice has access to the work required to complete the qualification.
Before a candidate is offered a place on the Advanced Joinery Apprenticeship,
both the candidate and the employer will be assessed to make sure they are
suitable to undertake the apprenticeship. The apprentice will need to meet
academic entry requirements and the employer must be able to offer the
apprentice the range of work required to enable the candidate to gather
sufficient evidence throughout the course.
Apprentices will require access to a tablet/computer to access their
e-portfolio.

Assessment and Progression
Once accepted onto the course, the apprentice will attend college to study
practical work, theory work, undertake reviews, update their portfolio and
record their ‘Off the job Training’. The apprentice will be assessed by a
work-based assessor through practical work with their employer and at college.
Review of progress and growth targets will be set every 4 – 10 weeks, depending on individual needs. A full
delivery plan will be provided when the apprentice starts on the programme.
End Point Assessment During their time on-programme, the apprentice will
build a portfolio of evidence of their work and their knowledge. The assessor
and employer will help the apprentice to create a ‘Showcase portfolio’ which
will be used by an Independent End-Point Assessor during the End-Point
Assessment. The apprentice will study Functional Skills Maths & English if
they have not already achieved a Grade 4 or above in their GCSE’s. Once both the
assessor and employer are confident that the apprentice is ready for EPA then
the apprentice will go through the gateway. In order for the apprentice to go
through the gateway they must have passed their Maths & English GCSE’s at
grade 4 / Level 2. All required ‘Off the Job Training’ will have to have been
recorded on the learners Smart Assessor account. This will then allow apprentices to be
booked in for the End Point Assessment (EPA). The Final Assessment forms a large
part of the assessment of the apprenticeship and will be delivered by a 3rd
party independent assessor. End-Point Assessment includes; • An Online Knowledge Test (45 Questions / 60
Minutes). • A Skills test in an unfamiliar
location (6 Hours). • Oral Questioning
related to the learners Showcase Portfolio (60 Minutes). Progression The
Joinery apprenticeship will qualify apprentices to a good standard which will
enable them to work independently as a Joiner. Apprentices could also move onto
Level 3 qualifications in Site Management or other office-based roles in the
construction industry.
