What is the course about?
This apprenticeship prepares you for a career as a Construction Site Supervisor, with typical job titles including:
- Assistant Site Manager
- Assistant Supervisor
- Construction Site Supervisor
In smaller construction companies (SMEs), roles may also include Site Manager or Site Supervisor. These professionals are responsible for supervising specialist contractors and workers on construction projects. Most of your work will take place on construction sites, with occasional time spent in an office environment.
What will I learn?
You’ll gain the core skills and knowledge required to successfully supervise construction projects. Key learning areas include:
- Supervising specialist contractors
- Controlling health and safety standards
- Recording, controlling, and reporting project progress
- Minimising environmental impact
- Monitoring the quality of work
- Supporting commercial staff in tracking project costs
You’ll complete an End Point Assessment to demonstrate your skills, knowledge, and behaviours, working toward full achievement of the apprenticeship standard. You’ll also gain access to professional engineering recognition.
On successful completion, you’ll be awarded a Level 4 qualification in Construction and the Built Environment. This meets the educational requirements for Technician status or an equivalent level of professional membership, as approved by recognised industry bodies.
How is the apprenticeship delivered?
As a Higher Apprentice, you’ll develop your skills, knowledge, and behaviours through a mix of classroom learning and hands-on experience with your employer.
Training is delivered through weekly sessions at Warrington & Vale Royal College.
You’ll typically work around 30 hours per week (up to 40 hours if you’re under 18), which includes both on-the-job training and off-the-job learning at college.
You’ll attend college one day per week as part of your schedule.
What will the course lead on to?
After completing the apprenticeship, you’ll be well-placed to progress further into higher education or take advantage of further career development opportunities within the construction industry—particularly if you’re already employed in the field.
What support is available?
You will be allocated a designated tutor to guide you through your apprenticeship. We have a team of staff dedicated to providing learning support if required, as well as a Welfare Team that is on hand to offer guidance, support and help when needed.
