What You Will Study
The aim of this apprenticeship study is to develop the knowledge, skills and behaviours required to work successfully in a property sector working towards Net Zero.
Our programme of study is sequenced to address resilience and wellbeing at the start of the programme through a one-day programme leading to formal certification upon successful completion.
This is followed by an intensive Health and Safety programme that supports knowledge around the Standard. Whilst there is no mandatory on-programme assessment for this element, upon completion it is possible to achieve the Level 1 Award in Health and Safety, this will support CSCS card attainment.
The knowledge and skills around maintaining property to a high standard and customer service are developed. This supports skills being developed in the workplace.
Knowledge associated with the principles of retrofit are embedded in the delivery. Whilst there is no mandatory on-programme assessment of this element of the programme it is possible to achieve a Level 2 Award in Retrofit to demonstrate attainment.
