Marine Upholsterer Apprenticeship Level 2
This two year course will provide all the theory, practical and professional teaching and support for you to gain your Marine Upholstery Apprenticeship.
We work closely with your employer and workplace to ensure the course is tailored to the skills and understanding that you will need. This includes visiting and measuring the boats at Noss Marina, upholstery skills, sewing techniques, foam cutting, pattern making and other manufacturing processes.
We also document and evidence the work you do in your workplace, as well as supporting your learning with theory, professional development, industry research, history and context.
In the second year we then support your individual progress leading up to your End Point Assessment, which includes a multiple-choice test, workplace observation and final portfolio of research and evidence.
