FAQs about the G&H
Certificate
|
|
Q:
|
How does "work experience"
work?
|
|
|
Learners who are
assessed as "work ready" and who are up to date with their
individual training plans will be supported and encouraged to do work experience where
we can arrange suitable placements. There they meet real employers
and increase their chances of
getting a job at the end of the course, and also learn what work on
a real construction site is like.
|
|
Q:
|
Do I get paid for "work
experience"?
|
|
|
No. One of
the work experience rules is that learners are not paid for course
time spent on the job.
|
|
Q:
|
Is there a lot of time on
the course for making things in the workshop?
|
|
|
There is some time
each week in the workshop, but the course is mostly about providing
you with knowledge for the industry so you can go out and develop your
practical skills from there.
|
|
Q:
|
At school I wasn't much
good at reading and maths. Will I be able to do this course?
|
|
|
Our tutors and
mentors are able to spend some time helping with your reading and
maths. We find that all the pictures in e-learning also helps
our learners to understand and learn about carpentry.
|
|
Q:
|
Are there any holiday
breaks during the course?
|
|
|
Because our
learners can start at any time of the year, we have no term or
semester breaks except Christmas and New Year. Once you have
been accepted onto your course you will receive an individual training
plan and offer of acceptance which will have scheduled holiday breaks
included.
