APPRENTICESHIPS
About apprenticeships
Earn while you learn, gain a qualification and real site experience across the South East.
With an apprenticeship you can earn whilst you learn. Not only do you gain a new qualification, you gain valuable real-world experience whilst earning a salary.
We have supported over 300 apprentices in the construction industry.
With CoTrain, you are fully supported by our Apprenticeship Managers who will help you along your apprenticeship journey.
Why choose a shared apprenticeship scheme?
You will be working on a number of different placements throughout your two year apprenticeship, which means you will learn from a variety of professionals in your chosen field.
You will also be involved in different projects at each site, increasing your knowledge and skill set with each change. When your placement is over you will have a broad range of experience which will look great on your CV.
While we will do our best to ensure you are given appropriate tasks on site to complement your study course, it may be necessary from time to time to move you to an alternative site to gain the required practical experience. There will also be times where you have to do general labouring tasks.
Technician apprenticeship
On completion you will have achieved a BTEC 3 in “Construction in the Built Environment” alongside an NVQ3 in Construction Contracting. From here it is recommended you join a management trainee programme, and we can help find the best fit for you.
Trade apprenticeship
Our trade apprentices complete two years of training with a Level 2 NVQ in their chosen field. You then have the option of working toward your Level 3 while continuing with your site placement.
CoTrain are happy to look at providing support for any construction or construction manufacturing apprenticeship.
If you have completed your apprenticeship and would prefer to go into full-time employment, we can approach the various contractors that have hosted your placements to let them know you’re qualified and give them first refusal.
95% of our apprentices continue in construction, and all our managerial apprentices have gained, or are working toward, a degree in construction.
