Thirteen Apprentices Skills Tested
Thirteen apprentices took part in Clark Contracts’ bespoke skills test at West College Scotland’s Paisley Campus.
The bespoke Clark Contracts test was created by Academy Manager, David Cooper and involved our apprentices completing a timed task relating to the trade they are learning.
Five first year joinery apprentices were tasked with the erection of a stud partition, formation of a door opening, plasterboard finish, manufacture and installation of door sets including facings, door stops and ironmongery.
The four second year joinery apprentices were required to complete the same as above with the addition of a timber floor and sheet with chipboard flooring and ceiling.
Our 1st year bricklaying apprentice built a brickwork model whilst 1st year plasterer apprentice competed the plaster work to the 2nd year’s structure and following this the painter and decorator completed the decoration works.
