Trowel Occupations Apprenticeship Level 3
Summary
This Advanced Trowel Occupations Apprenticeship is a follow on from the Level 2 Apprenticeship, and is for people who want to become a fully qualified craft mason while laying the foundation for a successful career in the construction industry.
An apprenticeship is a great way to gain a new qualification while staying in your current job and earning money. At the end of the course, you will have a nationally recognised qualification and no debts to pay!
Over 90% of our construction apprentices are offered permanent positions by their employers once they have completed their apprenticeship.
Upon successful completion, you are a fully qualified craft mason and may progress to a foreman or supervisory level in the future.
You may be interested in studying further and enrol in the Level 3 NVQ Diploma in Construction Contracting Operations, Level 3 NVQ Diploma in Site Supervision or FdSc Sustainable Construction. Thereafter you could progress to a BSc (Hons) in Environmental Construction Surveying, Building Surveying or Construction Management.
