We are ready to open!

We have been working extremely hard over the past few weeks to prepare for re-opening following the lockdown and we are now ready to open for YTA courses on Monday 1st June.

Please take a look at the gallery below to see what we have put in place:

  • Hand sanitiser stations in each department,
  • Yellow dots on the floor 2m apart,
  • Perspex between training bays where possible
  • Face-masks to be handed out

We have some ground rules for attending which can be found on our COVID-19 page which must be followed to help keep all staff and students safe.

We are not sure how long we will need these rules and procedures in place but I feel it is a good way of trying to keep everybody safe.  We will expect all students and staff to adhere to the above measures. Safety in these unprecedented times is our top priority.

It will feel a little different at first whilst we all get used to the new social distancing measures and how we can practice this in a construction training centre but please bear with us as we are all new to this way of working/ teaching/ assessing.

Three successful Carpentry NVQ’s today

We had three experienced carpenters successfully complete their Site Carpentry NVQ‘s today at YTA and we are happy to say that they all passed the 6 hour practical assessment. The Site Carpentry NVQ level 2 Diploma is gained through the EWPA (Experienced Worker Practical Assessment) if you have a minimum of 5 years experience working as Site Carpenter. We are so glad to say that we are off to a flying start following the lockdown period and all three achieved the 1 day NVQ level 2 practical assessment.

We have some new working practices in place which can be found on our COVID-19 PAGE and all went to plan, face-masks provided, social distancing and hand sanitiser stations around the centre all making the assessment process safe.

Are you an experienced Carpenter / Joiner of 5 or more years? then you can spend 1 day at our NOCN Cskills approved NVQ Centre in Yorkshire completing the wood occupations site carpentry NVQ level 2 EWPA (Experienced Worker Practical Assessment). We run this assessment on Saturday’s 7:30am until approx 4pm depending on your time. We run the assessment at our training centre in Bradford, West Yorkshire. The 1 day NVQ level 2 through EWPA costs £900 including vat, (£750 excl vat).

How do we assess during COVID-19 and keep social distancing

We have a very large assessment centre (6500 sq foot) and the EWPA requires the candidate to work on their own in a dedicated assessment area for an allocated amount of time to complete the practical assessment (between 6 and 9 hours depending on which trade). We can easily distance a maximum of 3 assessment areas within the centre 6m apart from each other. The assessor will assess at distance and when required at the end of the assessment, ask you to stand to one side so he can measure and mark your practical assessment.  So the carpentry NVQ level 2 is still running but with no more than 3 candidates per time in the building.

We really can get you your NVQ quickly

What if you need to be earning a wage again even before you’ve completed our carpentry EWPA route? Well, that’s not too much of a drama, either – you simply need to first secure your place and pay your deposit, so that we can get you registered. This will enable you to apply for and gain a temporary card lasting for a maximum of six months until you have completed the EWPA.

Don’t wait any longer to email the YTA team at info@ytatraining.com during COVID-19 lockdown and on 01274 682199, to book your place or to discuss how we can best serve your construction training / assessment requirements. YTA have been delivering successful Carpentry NVQ’s to experienced carpenters for 14 years now.

Fantastic YTA Tiling & Plumbing Course Video Review

Another fantastic tiling and plumbing course video review from Alex Blair. Alex completed the 5 day tiling and 5 day plumbing courses in October 2019 and March 2020 and not only found the courses enjoyable but very beneficial, he has since booked onto 2 more courses, the 5 day advanced plumbing course and the 5 day plastering course.  The video is now live on YouTube so you can now watch and follow the YTA channel to receive all the latest YTA video reviews.

 

Thank you Alex for a Fantastic YTA video review

Whats Covered on the plumbing course:

The 5 day plumbing course will see you working with copper pipe and fixings, plumbing in a bathroom, a small 3 radiator system including thermostatic radiator valves, understanding different heating systems, plumbing in a kitchen sink including waste pipes plus plenty of fault finding and repair work throughout the week.

Alex left a fantastic YTA video following fitting radiator valves on the 5 day plumbing course

Whats Covered on the tiling course:

The 5 day tiling course will see you cover surface preparation, setting out and tiling a kitchen, bathroom and floor. You will tile around obstacles such as plugs, windows and shower pipes and complete each task by grouting and silicone sealing. You will work in your own bay for the course and look to create a professional finish.
