The Building Craft Programme is aimed at craftspeople looking to bridge the gap between basic qualifications and becoming a master craftsperson working in the heritage sector. The programme is suitable for participants who have experience in their trade of choice, either via college or on-site experience, but are looking to focus more specifically on heritage and traditional building crafts. It is a full time, 8 month course which gives practical experience in traditional building crafts and an opportunity to gain a Heritage Skills NVQ Level 3.
The course structure consists of the following:
- 3 week Summer School in London and Scotland.
- 10 week live build project providing first-hand experience on site.
- 4 months of work placements with master craftspeople working on traditional new building schemes and conservation projects across the UK.
Students will be awarded a full scholarship covering the course fees and will receive a monthly bursary of £1,000 to cover travel expenses and living costs. Accommodation is provided during the Summer School, Live Build and Placements.
This is an excellent opportunity for those wanting to expand their knowledge of traditional building methods and conservation.
