Course overview

This Interior Systems Installer Apprenticeship is available to anyone aged over 16, who is working or has secured employment in the industry.

The College is offering the drylining pathway, which covers the methods to install different drylining systems that form the walls and rooms within a building, often used to hide wires and pipes whilst improving acoustics and create space for insulation.

The Interior Systems sector alone has over 35,000 operatives working on extremely diverse projects in hotels, schools, airports, football stadiums, hospitals, shopping centres as well as iconic structures which are known throughout the world and include Canary Wharf, the Olympic Stadium, Battersea Power Station and the Shard.

The course is delivered in partnership with British Gypsum who will be providing the College with materials and expertise, and apprentices will benefit from using industry standard products.

Our Roofing apprenticeship is available on block release.
