Statement on new apprenticeship courses in construction

New apprenticeship courses in construction to be introduced in Wales

Welsh Government and Medr have announced that a foundation construction apprenticeship framework, at level 2, will be introduced this year.

Qualifications Wales has worked in partnership with Welsh Government and Medr to identify how the qualification system in this sector can support this change.

The range of qualifications will be amended, and we will work with City & Guilds to introduce new qualifications to support future apprentices in bricklaying, site carpentry and scaffolding.

Qualifications Wales will provide more details as they become available in the coming weeks.
