Menu Apprentices Byrne Bros. launched its Formwork Apprenticeship Scheme in partnership with the National Construction College in 2013, and was the first employer in London to offer an apprenticeship in Formwork, where students can train and study in London. Our award winning scheme has been running since 2013, annually recruiting up to 13 apprentices to enrol on an NVQ level 2 in Formwork. Byrne Bros.’ training centre in Mitcham is a satellite college for the Norfolk based CITB National Construction College (NCC), which allows us to train and educate our apprentices from our own site in London, without the need for a residential stay at the college in Norfolk. This unique approach to training means that, on average, Byrne Bros. has received over 100 applications per year, for the 13 vacancies. Our apprenticeship scheme runs for two years, and provides apprentices with the opportunity to work on prestigious London landmarks, such as the Battersea Power Station redevelopment and the Paddington Crossrail station. Whilst on-site, apprentices work closely with a supervisor, picking up vital knowledge and learning from their expertise. Byrne Bros. has two dedicated training rooms and a workshop at its Mitcham training centre, solely for the apprenticeship scheme. In addition to the basic NVQ framework, apprentices receive further training, such as manual handling, behavioural safety and the use of power tools. The 2021 application process is now open Building your career with Byrne Bros. can start here.

To begin with it was for three weeks work experience just for me to gain some experience on site. This was arranged through the K10 programme, which is designed to provide people like me with a valuable opportunity to have work experience in construction, and in this instance, with a view to start an... Excellence in every aspect of our service “The collaborative working relationship we have established in the last six months has proved to be very productive both in the way the scheme has been piloted and in the high standard of students recruited by Byrne Bros.

We hope this paves the way for other employers to consider setting up their own training facilities too.” Toby Barnes, one of the visiting NCC tutors In addition to the Formwork Apprenticeship Scheme, Byrne Bros. also employs two apprentices who are completing an NVQ level 2 in Construction Plant Maintenance.
