Summary

The Level 2 Onsite Trades Foundation Apprenticeship provides an introduction to the construction industry, covering key trades such as bricklaying, carpentry, joinery, and plastering. Apprentices will gain a blend of practical, hands-on experience and classroom-based knowledge, developing essential technical skills alongside employability behaviours.

Delivered through a combination of workplace learning and off-the-job training, the programme supports learners to work safely and effectively within a construction team across a range of projects, from domestic repairs to large-scale developments.
