N.V.Q SPECIALIST APPRENTICESHIP PROGRAMME
AND
TRAINING SPECIFICATION
AUGUST 2009
Following on from extensive consultation with the members of the Insulating Concrete Formwork Association and a range of Industry Experts, a new Specialist Apprenticeship Scheme Pilot for the ICF Sector will be launched in the last quarter of 2009. The apprenticeship programme also enjoys the support of the ICFA members and manufacturers who will be providing the materials and technical support for the Pilot Scheme. Where the training programme is delivered and by which Training provider will be determined by the geographical demand for apprenticeship places. So where the off the job training will be located has yet to be agreed.
The Apprenticeship Framework consists of Achievement of the NVQ level 2 in Insulated Concrete Formwork by on site assessment, the completion of Key Skills at Level 1, and a total 25 days of off the job training over the two year period of attachment to the training programme. The course will also include up to two days of manufacturer based training. Progression will be to the NVQ level 3 in Occupational Work Supervision for those people who wish to achieve a supervisory qualification.
Companies who are registered with and who are in scope to CITB ConstructionSkills will be eligible to receive grants associated with the Registration of Apprentices as well as grants for Attendance and Achievement by the each apprentice. The current the maximum amounts published in the 2009/2010 CITB Grants Scheme for completion of the Apprenticeship Framework is £5700. (If the framework is achieved within a two year period the attendance grant ceases to be paid). It should be noted that there are no age restrictions for acceptance on the Programme.
