The Course in Detail
This occupation includes two different options and you will either work on a construction site as an Advanced Site Carpenter or in a workshop as an Advanced Architectural Joiner.
Advanced Site Carpenters work on building sites in the construction of domestic and commercial properties, preparing and installing complex and bespoke building components. You would prepare, construct and erect irregular and complex roof structures.
Advanced Architectural Joiners are employed in a workshop creating complex building components by setting out, marking out and create assembled products requiring advanced skilled work including the full range of woodworking machines. There will often be a need for refurbishment or repair work of bespoke pieces.
In your daily work, you would liaise directly with other construction roles such as bricklayers, plasterers and plumbers, supervisors, site management, architects, designers, contractors and customers.
This apprenticeship standard covers the core skills, knowledge and behaviours to demonstrate competency of an Advanced Carpenter or Joiner and covers key requirements to include:
Plan and organise the work site including setting out the work site, materials, tools and equipment appropriate to the project for self and others
Utilise a range of advanced skills to carry out complex carpentry or joinery work to demanding tolerances and industry standards including measuring, marking out, fitting, cutting, splicing, finishing, positioning and securing
Carry out quality checks of own and others work against specification and take action where required, providing remedial work instructions to others
You will develop your skills, knowledge and behaviours through on and off-the-job training and are expected to attend College on a day release basis.
