Heritage Craft Skills

Winner

Heritage Specialist Apprenticeship Programme – Jordan Heritage Roofing

This modular HSAP provides a flexible systematic approach to develop the fundamental knowledge and practical skills necessary to work on traditional roofs. It is the first of its kind in the UK and includes 30 days off-the-job training and trainees are registered for the level 3 NVQ Diploma in Heritage Skills

‘Specialist craft skills to pre-1919 buildings are always topical issues and none more so than when the particular activities seek to passionately engage others and enhance the understanding and learning benefits for a wider audience. The entry that particularly caught our attention in this category was submitted for a number of projects completed throughout the region both in the sympathetic repair and reinstatement of historic roofs and in the training and engagement of others in the use of regionally base materials and methods.’
