Groundworks Apprenticeship (Level 2)

What is a groundworker?

Groundworkers are among the first tradespeople to arrive on a construction site and the last to leave. They prepare and shape the ground so that buildings, roads, and other structures can be built safely and effectively.

As a groundworker, you’ll:

Prepare sub-surfaces for construction

Install drainage systems

Lay kerbs, paving, and concrete

Landscape and reinstate ground surfaces

Read and work from technical drawings

How does the apprenticeship work?

1 day a week at AccXel – You’ll study both theory and practical skills on our live mock site, designed to simulate real construction environments.

4 days a week with an employer – You’ll then put your learning to practice on actual construction projects, gaining valuable experience and knowledge alongside skilled professionals.

Portfolio & Final Assessment – You’ll build a portfolio of evidence throughout the programme, then complete an End Point Assessment (EPA) to achieve your qualification.

Earn While You Learn – You’ll be paid a wage for the entire duration of your apprenticeship, gaining a recognised qualification at no cost to you.
