This Regional Event is open to all FE Colleges and training providers who are considering delivering the Construction Apprenticeship Standards in Bricklaying, Carpentry and Joinery, Plastering, Painting and Decorating and want to see more of what the City and Guilds offer looks like.

At present and over the next couple of years our Construction portfolio is currently facing a number of challenges that will affect future qualifications and the way we carry out formal assessments. One of these key drivers are the new apprenticeship standards. We are therefore keen to keep our delivery network up to date and provide the guidance and support required.

The agenda will focus on the new apprenticeship standards and will be hosted by our Construction Technical advisor.

We aim to commence promptly at 12 noon and finish at 2pm
