Apprenticeships

Craft Apprenticeship is the recognised means by which people are trained to become craftspeople. To become a craft apprentice you must first obtain employment in your chosen craft with an employer who is approved to train apprentices.

Craft Apprenticeship is a standards-based education and training programme and generally consists of seven phases, three off-the-job and four on-the-job. The duration of a craft apprenticeship is typically four years.

In Tallaght Training Centre, we currently run Phase 2 for Carpentry & Joinery, Heavy Vehicle Mechanic, Electrical and Wood Manufacturing & Finishing apprenticeships.
