Higher Apprenticeships in Construction Management comprise of:

  • A HNC in Construction Management via the University of Wales Trinity St David, delivered in Pembrokeshire College over one day per week
  • A Level 4 NVQ qualification which is assessed in the workplace
  • Literacy, Numeracy and Digital Literacy Qualifications unless you are exempt – if you do not have at least GCSE grade C in English or Welsh and Maths or Numeracy, we may offer you another course as an alternative to an Apprenticeship.

  • Be happy to discuss Health and Safety procedures with your assessor
  • Pay you the appropriate national minimum wage, including for college days

Delivery

  • In the workplace: Employers must agree to monthly planned assessor visits to observe you and to discuss your progress with a supervisor.

Places on Apprenticeship Programmes are limited and subject to capacity. An offer of employment does not guarantee an immediate place in college.

Transport: Please note that for apprenticeship courses the college day would normally end anytime between 5pm – 7pm, depending on the apprenticeship pathway you are following. As college buses leave at 4pm, you will need to ensure you have your own transport in place.
