More information about this Course
Introduction
The occupation involves carrying out skilled work, primarily using timber
products, either on a construction site, or in a workshop, creating and
installing building components. This is a core and options apprenticeship, with
two pathways: Pathway 1: A Site Carpenter will normally work on a building site,
or in domestic and commercial premises, preparing and fixing building
components, from the initial erection of a new building, through to the
installation of all necessary fixtures and fittings, as well as a range of
repair and maintenance activities. Pathway 2: An Architectural Joiner will
normally be employed in a workshop producing timber-based building components
and other architectural products, such as doors, windows, units and staircases,
which are then transported to construction sites to be installed by site
carpenters. Off the Job Training A key requirement of an Apprenticeship
is Off-the-job training. This 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 must be directly relevant to the apprenticeship
standard and must take place within the apprentice’s normal working hours. The
new learning must be documented and reflected on through the Learner Journal on
e-portfolio.

undertake the knowledge, skills and behaviours required. They will also need to
have Level 2 Maths and English (GCSE at Grade 4/C or above or equivalent) or
grade 3/D accompanied by 2 good references (in this case the apprentice needs to

Assessment and Progression
Before a candidate is offered a place on the Joinery Apprenticeship, both the
candidate and the employer will be assessed to make sure they’re 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. Once accepted onto the course, the apprentice will attend college
one day per week to study Practical training, theory work, undertake reviews,
update their portfolio and record their ‘Off the job Training’. The apprentices
will also attend several block weeks for their practical 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.
20% of the apprenticeship must be made up of ‘Off the Job Training’ which is
explained within this information pack. 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 or above OR have
passed Level 1 Functional Skills and have taken an assessment at Level 2. All
required ‘Off the Job Training’ will have to have been recorded on the learners
e-portfolio (OneFile) 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
the Level 3 advanced apprenticeship in Joinery or other Level 3 qualifications
such as site management and other office-based roles.
