NVQ Carpentry.
Post by nearlyqualified »
Hi all just joined the forum, nearly qualified site chippie,21.
wanted to get some opinions on the modern day citb apprenticeships. when you talk to the blokes on site they say they did like 5 years at college and got taught everything where as us new apprentices are gettin rushed through just doing paperwork and no practical at college just on site.
cheers dave

why most of the stuff is b******s what we learn. Everything is outdated. I wish i could of done a work based NVQ (without college).
The CITB apprenticeships are the best there is, the carillion is FULL of theory, your hardly on site aswell.
Just my opinion

hi all . 1st post . i am on a college based ica course in carpentry and joinery night classes two nights a week one night theory the other practical. have really enjoyed it so far, half way through the 2nd year now. i am now looking for jobs in this area but with the present climate dont hold out to much hope. The course is nvq level 2 and although have been in the building trade is certainly an eye opener on the amount of different skills and types of jobs undertaken by the joiner.
