YTA Training and Assessment

9th February 2021 By Liz Spider

Five days is all that it takes to start an exciting new joinery career!

It’s fair to say that many of us have had reason to look at our lives afresh over the past year, with all of the disruption and hardship it has brought. For you, that might have even meant considering a new professional direction. 

Maybe you’ve decided that you want to embark on a career that is highly durable, continuing to see high demand even in times of economic uncertainty? Or perhaps you’ve been thinking to yourself, “well, I’ve always wanted to learn a trade – so I might as well take the plunge now”? 

Whatever your own specific situation and motivations may be, if you have been thinking of training to be a carpenter or joiner in 2021, you can’t do better than doing it with one of the leading accredited centres for construction training – YTA! 

In fact, as a beginner, you only need to complete a five-day course with us in order to earn your first unit of accreditation as a carpenter or joiner. So, what exactly does our consistently-in-demand five-day Cskills Level 1 Unit Carpentry Course offer you? 

 

A great first step to an NVQ Level 2 carpentry qualification 

It is important to acknowledge that this particular five-day course on its own is a unit accreditation course that does not lead to the full NOCN Cskills Level 1 Certificate in Carpentry and Joinery; for that, you’ll need to take on the 10-day course that we also offer here at YTA. 

Nonetheless, even if you do opt for ‘just’ the five-day course, you will cover a lot of ground, with the opportunity to earn a unit of accreditation that can be shown to potential employers or customers to demonstrate your competence in this important trade. 

Another great attraction of this course is that you really can start it even if you have no prior experience in carpentry at all. 

You will choose a Cskills unit to complete during your five days at our training centre. Then, once you’ve passed this course, you could always proceed to another Cskills Level 1 unit accreditation course, and eventually gain a Cskills NVQ Level 2 qualification in site carpentry. 

 

You won’t waste a minute when training in carpentry with us! 

In just five days at our West Yorkshire training centre, you can cover considerable ground in carpentry and joinery. This course encompasses such essentials of the trade as building a stud partition wall with a doorway, hanging a door including the fitting of locks, fitting skirtings and mouldings, the various tools required in carpentry and joinery, and so much more. 

Experienced carpenters and joiners can earn as much as £40,000 a year, so this might not merely be an enjoyable and futureproof trade for you – it could also be a financially rewarding one in the long run. And this course represents an excellent way to start your journey. 

Reach out to the YTA team today to ask any questions you may have about this popular course, and to enquire about booking your place to learn carpentry at one of the UK’s leading accredited centres for construction training.

A bricklaying Level 2 diploma can be yours in just a day, if you’re experienced 

As a leading and trusted construction training centre in Bradford, West Yorkshire, YTA is certainly a place to which to turn for a wide range of both beginner and advanced bricklaying courses. Indeed, we take great pride in our ongoing role in getting all manner of would-be and current bricklayers ready for the next stage of their careers. 

However, you don’t necessarily need to embark on an entire several-day course with us to take your life as a bricklayer to a whole new level. 

That’s because, if you already have five or more years’ experience in this trade, you also have the option of our Experienced Worker Practical Assessment (EWPA) route, which enables you to obtain a Cskills NVQ Level 2 diploma in the space of just a day. 

Not a ‘course’, but an assessment route 

It is important to emphasise that our EWPA route is very much what it sounds like – an assessment route, not strictly a ‘course’. 

It’s a way for bricklayers who already possess specialised skills and experience to demonstrate this, and earn a qualification in the process – the qualification they need in order to secure the blue skilled worker CSCS card. 

Converting your bricklaying skills and capabilities into a qualification 

The bricklaying EWPA at YTA combines professional discussion with witness statements and a simple practical assessment. Five mandatory units are covered, in relation to general workplace safety, efficient work practices, the movement and handling of resources, and the erection and setting out of masonry structures. 

These units are supported by one of a list of optional units, encompassing such further aspects of the trade as the erection of masonry cladding, the placement and finishing of non-specialist concrete, and the installation of drainage. 

Reach out to us now to get your EWPA process underway! 

Don’t stress – when you first get in touch with us, we’ll arrange our expert NVQ assessor to complete a ‘skills scan’ with you. This will help both of you to determine your likelihood of achieving the NVQ, so that neither of you waste time, effort and money on an assessment route that may not represent the right next step for you as a bricklayer.  

 

If the two of you are confident that you will be able to pass the assessment, and you’re happy to proceed, we will then be able to go ahead and book the bricklaying EWPA for you. 

 

Don’t worry if you need to get on-site prior to your assessment date. After you pay for your deposit, we can get you registered, followed by emailing you the registration confirmation that will enable you to apply for and gain a temporary, six-month card. 

 

At the end of the assessment day, your assessor will inform you whether or not you have achieved the NVQ – and if successful, you can expect to receive your certificate within 14 days. This will allow you to apply for the blue skilled worker CSCS card. 

 

For more information about the bricklaying EWPA or any of our wide range of novice, intermediate and advanced bricklaying courses, simply give the YTA team a call today, on 01274 682199 or 07400922788. Alternatively, you can reach out to us via email. We wish you the very best for your future career in this highly rewarding trade!

Student returns 9 years later!

It was so lovely to have Denise back in YTA with her son 9 years after her first course. Denise originally attended our tiling course back in 2011 and has returned to complete a few more courses with her son’s in August and September leaving us with a lovely review on Google.

I did my first tiling course here over 9 years ago. I loved it! But I came out of the trades industry for a few years. Having recently started my new business as a tiler I wanted extra experience with what I’ll probably come across.

My son and I attended the 5 day plumbing course. Fantastic for both of us.

I have since attended a 2 day floor tiling course.

The instructors make this such a fun and relaxed atmosphere whilst maintaining safety and professionalism.

I feel the course prices are extremely reasonable and can’t wait to attend the 5 day joinery course in January 2021!

All safety measures are adhered to!

I haven’t bothered looking at anywhere else for my courses as YTA has it all!

They even sell tools at competitive prices too!

Thank you Denise for such a lovely 5 star review. It’s always great to see returning students and hear how well you’ve been doing. Looking forward to another catch up when you return for the joinery & carpentry course. Graham

Marcus Lister carpentry and plumbing course review

Thank you Marcus for a great 5 star YTA review. It was a pleasure having you on the courses and we look forward to seeing you back again for the other courses.


John Power – Completed 10 day Plumbing Course – September 2020

Personally I felt the plumbing course was excellent. It suited me because it was hands on and very practical and suited my style of learning. I thought the delivery by the instructor was spot on and would highly recommend the course for beginners or people looking to up-skill and already have a basic knowledge base about plumbing. I would like to thank the YTA and would definitely avail of other courses in the near future. Cheers lads.

New 5 Star YTA Review – Carpentry & Joinery Course

An excellent 2 weeks doing the level 1 carpentry and joinery course, the trainer was patient and very knowledgeable, he gave lots of tips and tricks to help. An easy company to deal with and I felt they are value for money. Hopefully I will be back to do my level 2 in the future.
