Apprentice Bricklayer, Carpenter/Joiner, Plumber or Electrician (Scotland)

Our apprentice programme is run in partnership with CITB, the Sector Skills Council for construction. It mixes college study with practical on-site training with experienced trade specialists, and a programme that goes well beyond the standard syllabus.

Once you’re accepted, you’ll start a four-year structured Advanced Modern Apprenticeship. You’ll learn on the job, and in a locally approved college – so you’ll be earning and learning all the time. At the end of your apprenticeship, you’ll have a great amount of experience and valuable job skills, plus a technical certificate and nationally recognised apprenticeship qualification.

You will be reporting to the Site Manager, and you will work towards gaining a nationally recognised apprenticeship qualification through on and off the job, trade specific training. You will be expected to:

• Complete the Barratt Training Manual
• Complete site and college work within agreed time limits and standards whilst being consistent at gathering quality work-based evidence
• Work with colleagues to learn and develop your trade skills safely
• Learn to use and maintain hand tools, portable power tools and equipment
• Communicate with colleagues, lecturers and customers politely

Once you’ve completed your apprenticeship, there are plenty more options available to you, including our Management Programmes.
