Redrow Apprenticeship Programme

What is the Redrow Apprenticeship Programme?
The Redrow Apprenticeship Programme is a combination of both work experience and an academic qualification, completed over a fixed length of time (usually 3 years), during which you, as an apprentice, will receive a wage.

The programme will place you with one of Redrow’s experienced and trusted sub-contractors, so that you can learn the skills required to do your chosen job whilst working on Redrow developments. You’ll also be given access to information and learning you will need for your required qualifications.

In order to join the programme, you must be registered with CITB Construction Skills (CSkills), which is the construction industry’s training board. If you are not already registered, you can do so through BConstuctive by clicking on the button below.

Usually on a day release basis, you will also go to college, where you will receive support and guidance from both the college tutors and a CSkills Apprenticeships Officer - and they will help you to work towards the component parts of the Apprenticeship qualification. This largely comprises a National or Scottish Vocational Qualification (N/SVQ) in your relevant trade.

Initially you would work towards a level 2 NVQ within a given Apprenticeship - and then, depending on your trade and ability, you may have the option to progress to a level 3 NVQ as part of the Advanced Apprenticeship programme.

Upon successful completion of your qualification, you will receive a certificate showing that you have gained a nationally recognised award. This, along with your valuable on-site experience, will help you greatly in pursuing your chosen career.
