Developing skills through apprenticeships for over 80 years.
Our programme
Apprenticeships are announced on our careers pages and on social media in mid-August. If successful in an application, you will begin a four-year programme. Progress is reviewed on a continuous, structured basis through assessments that combine course work with practical and theoretical assignments. During the on-the-job training, your competence will be periodically assessed. On successful completion of all assessments over a period of four years you will be awarded with a FETAC Level 6 Advanced Certificate. This Level 6 Certificate has national and international recognition and is a compulsory requirement for craftsperson status.
