Groundworker Level 2
Duration: 18 months
Groundworkers are the first trade onto a construction and civil engineering site and they work closely with supervisors and engineers in interpreting design specifications to prepare the site ready for the structural building works to take place.
They continue their work throughout the construction phase, working with all on-site construction trades, such as bricklayers and plant operatives, up to and including the final completion activities of the project.
Their work includes setting out and preparing the sub-surfaces ready for the structural work to begin, installing drainage systems, concreting, constructing roads and pathways and carrying out the finished hard landscaping.
The Apprenticeship Qualifications and Experience required: None
Galldris and a training provider will offer the candidate the training required and the qualification of a CSCS card.
On programme Training will last 18 months.
Apprentices are expected to attend all teaching sessions and complete work in their own time.
Teaching sessions will be both in the classroom and on site completing practical tasks.
The end-point assessment (EPA) will assess how an apprentice can apply their skills, knowledge and behaviours acquired in their apprenticeship, through the following three assessments carried out after the gateway point of the apprenticeship:
- Knowledge test – this test will consist of multiple-choice questions on a computer-based platform or paper-based.
- Skills test – this test will consist of practical activities to assess the apprentice’s knowledge, skills and behaviours
- Professional Discussion – assessed by an Independent Assessor, this discussion will consist of questions that clarify and probe the apprentice’s knowledge, skills and behaviours based on the portfolio of evidence developed by the apprentice.
