Included in the new frameworks:

• Construction technology

• Materials Science

• Measurement

• Technical drawing

• Tools and techniques

 

Along with all the craft training elements expected to develop skills in construction and maintenance, conservation and repair and understanding of traditional and historic buildings.

 

 

Our Masonry route will include construction; repair and maintenance and conservation of masonry; brickwork and earth/clay buildings.

 

Our Wood Occupations route will include green timber framing; repair and maintenance of timber structures and elements; manufacture of joinery products; repair and restoration of joinery products; conservation of joinery products.

 

 

 

In order to deliver a suitable depth of knowledge, we have prepared a programme to be delivered over 17 months.

 

Year 1

Will embrace the majority of the underpinning knowledge training, along with certain elements of NVQ assessment. We will also deliver the prerequisite functional skills and employer rights  and responsibilities qualifications where appropriate. These will all be delivered in our training centre in Bedale, North Yorkshire over 5 days per month in the first 12 months. This will be via block release from your work placement.

This will achieve the Traditional Craft Advanced Diploma at Level 3.

 

Year 2

Will be delivered as a combination of onsite support and assessment along with one week per month in centre.

This is to enable us to properly assess competence within a live working environment.

We will offer mentoring and coaching as appropriate throughout the

process and work closely with the employer, to ensure that all elements of the qualification can be covered.

This will conclude in the assessment of the NVQ L3 Diploma, leading to the Gold CSCS card in Heritage Skills.
